Dear All,
I am on a scope of designing a mono slope shade to support solar panels, I was checking wind loads acting on this shades and I found that there is a big difference in pressure coefficients from ASCE 7-10 and BS 6399, For example for 15 deg Slope the BS is giving The CP as +0.7 and -1.1...
Hello,
I am checking the design of glass curtain walls mainly subjected to wind loads using ASTM E1300 , I am confused about the long and short duration loads . I understood that short duration load is considered to be acting for 3 secs and long duration for 30 days (correct me if I am...

to compute the punching shear force (manually if you suspect punching shear failure, since safe does not calculate punching shear in this situation )you must use the tributary area method in the pdf file I attached (critical loading surface area), calculate the punching shear force and...
It makes sense to subtract the beam shear from the column reaction but you have to take into consideration the reduced concrete slab area that is resisting shear (Ac) (sort of edge column case) this case is highly influenced by moment, and punching shear may occur regardless shear failure in...
hokie66 you have much more experience than me, but if u take a look at the pdf file I attached you will notice that the lift core wall leg is connected to a 2.5 meter thick pit edge so we do not have a problem regarding anchorage or embedment, if I understood what yo mean in " I would be...
hokie 66 you are right about casting monolithically , but its is always about discontinuity of shutters (subcontractors nagging) .
thanks for your time
I was wondering if I can bend my bars inside the formwork (at the outermost edge) and then bend them back straight after moving the shutter.. (I prefer not to use couplers because it is not allowed for bars less than T25 as per consultant's...
please find the attached dwg file below.
my case is how to access T16 dowels @150 mm from the pit side to the core leg. the pit side will be executed before the core leg.(without interrupting the shutters if possible...
Hi,
I have 2 perpendicular walls which for some reason cannot be cast simultaneously and according to design drawings the connection between he two walls is a stiff connection, thus dowels must pass through shutters is there any way to do this (other than couplers)? with considering a dowel...
