    Analysis of Cantilever Corner Balcony

    The Owner wishes to remove the columns at the outboard corner. Perimeter beams are an option as there are building columns at the corners. See the revised sketch with column locations, attached. FEA analysis of the balcony slab is an option, but I would prefer to dig into the methodology for...

    Analysis of Cantilever Corner Balcony

    I've been tasked with analyzing a conventionally-reinforced concrete cantilevered balcony at the corner of a high-rise condominium. The balcony, and others in the stack, had been supplemented with an HSS column at the outboard corner to remediate purported excessive deflection. The Owner now...

    Strengthening New Opening in 2-Way Slab w/ Externally Bonded/Bolted Steel Plate

    Hi, I am working working on the strengthening of a new opening in a 2-way RC slab slab. We had originally designed the strengthening using FRP, but the Contractor balked at the cost, cut the opening, shored the slab, and now we have to come up with a cheaper solution. We are looking into...

    Notation in AISC Specification for the Design of Steel Hollow Structural Sections

    Does anyone have a clear copy of the 1997 AISC Specification for the Design of Steel Hollow Structural Sections? I have a scanned copy from AISC that is unclear, specifically the equation for F_cr, Equation 4.2-2. In particular the lambda squared. It is unclear if it is lambda, lambda_c, or...

    Circular RC Planter Wall Design

    It's not huge and I was planning to just treat the walls and cantilevers, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks.

    Railing Post Concrete Breakout Strength

    This is correct. I noticed a mistake in my spreadhseet and it now works for A1 and A2. Thanks.

    Railing Post Concrete Breakout Strength

    Do I have this right? The results match for A1, but not for A2.

    Railing Post Concrete Breakout Strength

    I get that; it's the actual derivation of A1 and A2. The second page shows a sketch, but I am unable to replicate the values.

    Railing Post Concrete Breakout Strength

    Hi, I am working through @slickdeals calculations posted here. Can anyone clarify the derivation of A1 and A2 on the first sheet? Thanks!

    How to Determine Depth of Neutral Axis of Circular, Tied Concrete Column

    Hi, I am working on an interaction diagram for a circular, tied concrete column in accordance with CRSI's Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Columns. For pure bending, CRSI states that there is no closed-form solution to determine the depth of the neutral axis and that a trial-and-error...

    Steel Shear Collar Reference

    Hi, I'm working on adding an opening to an existing two-way RC slab. The opening is in a column strip and proximal enough to an existing concrete-filled steel tube column that the perimeter of the critical section for punching shear is reduced. Can anyone recommend a reference for steel shear...
