Thanks for sharing all.
Quick follow-up. Can GTSTRUDL and CAESAR II combination synchronize displacement of the structure and the pipe? As you are aware, rigid anchor point is not rigid as structures are flexible. So rigid support assumption derives conservative structure sizing (and...
Hi, y all experienced and generous to share thoughts.
Wondering how GTSTRUDL is accepted by Oil/Gas/Petrochemical Owners and how much it is used by global EPC companys.
Basically, my firm does multi-disciplinary EPC design / construction management for projects in europe, middle-east and...
Thanks.
I might have been lazy on answering questions and keeping the thread going.
Huevo and Hotrod. Agreed. That’s why it’s such a benefit finding this out.

I don’t think you wanna do concrete bearing unity check with modulus of rupture. It’s not compressive strength...
Thanks for all of your valued feedbacks, however I’m not quite sure if anyone is on the same page as me.
Why wLL for tensile resistance is compared with simply bearing (compressive) stress?
Just a faire advice, it may interest you reading through the attached references.
Hi,
Below uniformly distributed load tab of slab-on-grade spreadsheet does stress check for negative bending occuring in the aisle due to the stationary live load on both sides of the aisle.
Does anyone know why it compare wLL and wLL(allow)?
wLL is bearinhg pressure and wLL(allow) is from...
Thanks all, SlideRuleEra atrizzy oldestguy.
Basically I cleared my doubt on the extraploating method and its reliability. I didn`t use it as we mentioned it`s not a good engineering practice for chart method as the author limited the range so we should be within.
I used following point load...
Thanks Ron,
I appreciate your comment and now I`m using Chgapter 7 of ACI 360 Chapter based on Westergaard theory.
However for the chart solution, just wondered if we could extrapolate the curves for effective contact area and wheel spacing as attached.
Experts, please throw out what your...
Hi,
I'm designing a slab-on-grade subject to single-axle wheel load using ACI360 which refers to PCA 2001 Concrete floors on Ground for the attached chart.
Question.
What if design inputs are beyond the range of the chart? Stress per 1000 LB axle load < 3, Effective contact > 200 and wheel...

I really appreciate sharing your valued opinions and expertise. It was helpful indeed. I'm ashamed that I offended a posting rule which prevent students from writing about these. It's for my degree project. I would like you to kindly understand and suppress your...
Ratp,
I would like to clarify what I referred to by the term, "hanger reinforcement" that it is in accordance with 11.2.12 of CSA A23.3-04. You will easily find it is different from what you meant, stirrups across shear crack of ACI R11.1.3.1. Anyway, thank you for sharing your opinion and I...

1. Thank you for pointing out. So, the revised truss idealization should be as either one of belows. Any additional comment would help.
2. Can you add more what you see inducing torsion? As it's shown, BEAMS are symmetrical in terms both of geometry and loading about the center line...
Hello all,
I have a sort of research to be done on strut and tie model related to reinforced concrete girder to beam joint which of monolithic cast. Here are described specimens, with a few necessary information for you to picture them. Overall test layout is simply shown below and #1, #2, and...
