In this project the piles are subjected to lateral loads, this generates moments at the upper end up to about 6 meter below the ground surface. Also in this project the subsurface layers contains Sabkha soil (very loose soil) so it is required the reinforcement to continue up to the lower end of...
It was difficult for me to find this info. I found and attaching it.
From ACI 336.3R-93
4.2.2-- The clear spacing between vertical reinforcing
bars should be at least 3 times (preferrably 5 times) the
size of the maximum coarse aggregate or 3 times the bar
diameter whichever is larger.
4.2.3--...

Thank you eng. for the reply.
If you can also help please, I am asking about the axial force appearing from the vertical load (not the lateral load).
Dear Sir,
I noticed when applying a semi-rigid diaphragm to a slab with beams floor I got axial load in beams and slab from the vertical loading. But this axial force disappeared when I applied rigid diaphragm.
We used to ignore axial load in slabs and beams from vertical load even in manual...

Dear Engineers, I am designing a retaining wall, I need to consider seismic load.
From FEMA 450, calculate the Kh factor. as Kh = Sds/2.5. My question is about ss value, it is given in % of g. for example for Jeddah city it is about 35 (not divided by 100 to...
