Hi everyone,
I am designing a concrete building using ETABS 2016, my concrete design code is ACI 318-14 and i have ASCE 7-10 for defining live and seismic loads. after analyse and design procedure there were two beams with (S/O #2) error, because my seismic design category is D all the frames...

Sir, My question is that, as a structural engineer how should one orientate rectangular columns in a structure that is subjected to dead, live, seismic/wind loads??
Just for an example i have attached a plan of a building which has rectangular columns. This is a three story real...
Hi,
My question is about reinforced concrete rectangular columns orientation, i had heard somewhere that the longer dimension of column should be orientated along the shorter direction of frame or a building, but I am not very sure about it, if someone could give me some clarification i would be...
@JAE
Thank you very much for providing info.
Sir, I just wanted to verify another thing. I have seen some articles that state ,the bend length of a column going into a footing (or the dowell bars) should be taken as (16*D), also the overlap length for compression members should be (50*D) and for...
Hi,
I had started a thread about the same issue a couple of days ago but it has been deleted and I am not sure why.
I am trying to seek help about the hooks, development length and lap splices of aci 318-14. If anyone could provide some practical examples with figures I would be grateful.
