Thanks all, That was very helpful

Hi Geotechs, Am designing an abutment for a bridge and our geotech won't be able to give us anything for a month. so am trying to size my piles until we hear back from him because we have to submit a design and I have all my loads ready. and I want to do an approximation of the lateral loads...

Amazing answers ! Thanks all,

Many thanks SlideRuleEra for this answer, makes a lot of sense.

Hi, Can anyone please direct me to a good book in which describes the means and methods used by contractors for construction, like how they would construct an abutment for example, Am an office engineer and not having that experience always puts me in a hard spot where am not sure how things...

Hi, Is it worth taking the SE in newyork state, not city , STATE !. I know it's not necessary to do your job, but I mean would it help in getting more wins in proposals, and be more wanted in the market as an engineer ? Thanks,

Hi SAP usually gives you the final worst case forces for a vehicle moves on a structure, is there a way to see how the forces build up as the vehicle moves forward along the bridge? Just like how STAAD does it. Thanks,

Hi, Am currently using CWALSSI a non-linear 1-D finite element software by the USACE, and it doesn't allow us to input any safety factor unless you tweaked your way in (by inputting Ka and Kp on your own) unlike it's (brother if you will) CWALSHT wich allows you to input SF on more than one...

Thank you all for the good info

Hi , Am designing a temp sheet pile meant to retain a paved road, and its only temporary, but what deflection value is usually the cutoff line, I believe that there no standard for this value but am asking based on your experience. Thanks

Amazing stuff Thanks guys

Thanks oldestguy, am also interested in the modelling process of soil structure interaction, and am not sure if these guys will discus such an issue , any references on that ?

Hey guys, Any good sources to understand the soil structure interaction with bridge foundations (piles, shafts) , am a bridge engineer but I don't have a deep understanding for this issue and I am planning on changing that. Thank you in advance

Hi, I am trying to run a very simple buckling analysis in sap2000v18.2 and I believe I defined what I need to define , but once I run the buckling static analysis it doesn't even run, while the other cases runs normally, please help I am attaching the model , its a pretty basic 1 span...

Thanks Bridgebuster, I actually need it only as s temporary truss during erection that will be taken out later on.

Am interested in designing a stiffening truss to prevent erected steel from buckling due to LTB, does anyone have a good reference on that ? Thanks
