Thank you very much. I am trying to do a manual design using the wind load specs given in the BS EN 01991 - 01.4 - Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures. wind actions. However this is my first time referring the Eurocode as I was previously working in India hence only familiar with the IS codes...

@stryctSU10, But doesnt the wind loads acting on it make it more complicated? I checked the wind load manual calculations..which seemed quite complicated to do by hand

Thanks a lot. That gave me a better understanding of the support system. The foundation and the bolted connection design have already been done, I'm assuming using the above procedure you mentioned. I just need to check if the provided foundation is sufficient enough for the overturning moment...

What I was thinking was to prepare a simple model in Staad Pro and apply wind loads to get the reaction. Reaction/SBC of soil will give me the approximate foundation size. would that be correct?

@thaidavid40, It looks like this...

Hi, I am asked to check the foundation stability of a pylon sign board of height 2000mm, 900mm width and 160mm thickness made of mild steel. The structure is in the middle east with a wind velocity considered around 60m/s. I have been trying to search only for the footing design of pylon sign...

Hey guys, The verdict just came in. The municipality has asked for pour strips so we have to stick with that now. Both in slabs and continuing through the walls. Now I have to design and provide detailing for the strip areas. Could you please give me tips on how a pour strip is designed?(width...

@KootK, Thanks a lot. That was very helpful. Yes we argued that since this was resting on soil and not suspended above, shrinkage will be greatly reduced. We are using precast hollow core slabs for the ground floor level. And they want continuous pour strips through the walls as well, another...

Thank you so much for your inputs. The raft slab is monolithic with pile caps with the top of the pile cap at the same level as the top of raft slab. And it does extend over the entire building. WE are giving construction joints but since it is a basement floor and hence underground, we are...

hi everyone, I'm working with a contractor on a G+4 level residential project with a basement. The basement parking is slab on grade with a raft slab thickness of 350mm. The area is around 160m X 65m with only construction joints and no expansion or control joints. The consultant is asking for...
