    Continuity issue by extending a slab

    just as a tangent-is there a way to continue a slab without reinforcement without a cold-joint? any books on this side of cosmetic cementing?

    Constituent components of an inclined load, hypothesis

    The force on the right hand side is conserved. I assume it's this one.

    Constituent components of an inclined load, hypothesis

    I posit it's the right side, you find the percentages & then calculate from total load; but I have no way to test this.

    Hard Rock Hotel under construction in New Orleans collapses...

    I didn't mean a steel cable mesh held by trunnions was IN the building, but should be the course of action that proceeds

    true that it is useless to speculate--if they're taking it down. But I had an idea about a steel cable mesh held by trunnions held in some manner; which could vary; which would dictate the final result of the structure.

    Vibrations, usually in seismic zones but to a lesser extent impacts and wind to a lesser extent are controlled for. If these were amateur contractors who have never practiced out of state they may never have even heard of vibrations in buildings. Vibrations are like shock waves through the...

    what was the wind like that day? Is it possible the crane sent vibrations in mode?

    if someone can get me the plans I'll try and figure out if it should be stable

    combined compression & moment at load point of column

    Let's say we have a embedded column, are there formulas like Roark's formulas for stress & strain that will deal with a moment in addition to compression? or would i have to boundary element method the whole thing? I'll put in context: If one wants to make a structure with a small base that...

    slanted beams (bem (roark's formulas for stress & strain))

    when doing bem from roark's formulas for stress & strain on a slanted beam, do you just break it up into constituent parts & also take the specific stress point analysis?
