Wow. I wrote that before reading the new contributions at the thread. I haven´t the new ACI 318-19 (I continue in ACI 318-14) and now I come to see that article at the first time. So I think they are great news.
In fact it can work for both directions. I agree about this point. Indeed this is the way as I work. But in that “would be” is the doubt (at least, my doubt). Is it always a safe procedure? That´s the point for me.
Studies about the effect of biaxial shear are quite limited and they deal with...
Thank you very much, JAE for your answer. You are the one. (I must admit that I was expecting a little more interaction in this thread. I would like more direct experiences and criteria about this topic. It seems that not many people have doubts when cases not covered by the codes frequently...
Let´s take a rectangular RC column subjected to an action with components along both axes. Here we have the common issue of biaxial bending that we can solve routinely and about what we can find numerous references. But... What happens with shear? How do we deal with the biaxial shear? In this...
I have some doubts about the reinforcement of pedestals for the use of the industry equipment. A sketch is attached with concrete doubts,as example, about a chimney pedestal. If anyone know some good reference (book, code, ...) about this topic, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance...
Does anyone know some good reference (book, code, ...) about reinforcement design of circular foundations? About radial and circumferential reinforcement versus orthogonal... And considerations for the reinforcement of a circular (or octagonal) flat slab for small tanks, etc. Thanks in advance.
3Fan: I know the PCA reference. Unfortunatelly, it does not say much about foundation. "Circular Tanks without Prestressing", at chapter 19, states: "There are several methods to determine the required base slab reinforcing. These methods include finite element analysis, complex mathematical...
