Hello
I know this is a noobish question, but I really need your help.
I have modeled the building and checked it on etabs 2016. now what I want is detailing, I followed a lot of YouTube videos, and they all give the same workflow.
the problem is when I follow it, I get the beam and column...
Hello
as the title suggests, i have an inverted beam that goes around the roof slab to act as a parapet, the columns are 500x500 and the inverted beam is 600x200 (200 out the 600 is the intersection of the slab).
my question is: should the columns rebars be extended to reach to the top of the...
Hello
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, so please bear with me.
As the title suggests, i have a ramp that has two slopes as shown in the attached picture, the problem is I fear that the car will scratch the asphalt if the ramp stayed like that (the height between...
No sir, im an engineer working for the contractor, i just received the drawings, and thought id chat with you nice people :D
thought it seemed strange, and maybe i should send a letter to the employer discussing this issue
Not really Josh, the designer gave me framing plan that is filled with beams like the one i showed you here, im thinking he aligned them under partitions/block walls to help with the load.
but even if that is true (which is wrong, since the slab alone with its reinforcement should suffice to...
the design for this element came as a beam (6T14 top, 3T14 bot, and 2T8@150mm stirrups, as you can see in the attached picture)
so if what we are saying is correct, then both the top and bot reinforcement wont work (redundant, work as additional reinforcement for the slab at best), and the...
Hello
as the title suggests, i have a beam that is attached on the top by a 200mm slab and rests on a 500mm slab (see attached), my question is: will this beam act as a beam?!
i am asking this since the beam wont undergo any deflection, and since there is no deflection then there will be no...
Hello
I don't know if this is the right place to post this question .so if I'm wrong tell me and I'll delete it.
I have a question regarding vertical construction joint location in reinforced concrete walls.
A building has rc walls on strip foundation surrounding the building, these walls are...
Thank you for this
the back-filling is 4 meters not the excavations because the natural ground level is very low at that area , and a basement option has been declined.
The Consultant advised to to fill it as 20cm layers , but since the back-filling depth is very high , he agreed to 50cm layers...
thank you for your answers
just to clarify ; its to be placed below S.O.G. above foundations , its deep though 4 meters (about 13 feet).
is there a quotation on the issue from ASTM ??
Hello
as the subject suggests , i want to know what are the specifications for using single size as back-fill material under structure i.e. a building, Do we really need to compact it or not ,isn't washing it sufficient ??
a quotation would be really appreciated.
