I’m looking for some help interpreting and ASCE 7 code equation.
I’m currently designing a storage rack system, installed above grade. The supporting structure is a non-building, 8-ft tall laterally braced steel platform. I have attached a sketch of what the system looks like, along with the...
Hi VA_Structural:
When you say "but it occurred to me that given the composite section and assuming in reality the neutral axis shifts towards top flange of steel beam (probably right around the top flange), then your positive moment capacity for that beam goes DOWN, given the "c" distance to...
Good morning all,
I have a slab-on-grade in a warehouse. What are your thoughts about post-installed, torque-controlled anchor bolts near a cold joint?.
The anchors will be used in a base plate for a steel storage rack structure - the anchors will not be subject to any tension loads - only a...
@le99 : Good point - I don't have that information but I'll request it
@JLNJ : Based on your suggestion, I was able to find ACI 318-19 section 26.12.6 "Investigation of strength tests"
Thank you all for your input!
Thank you driftLimiter - testing was done by a geotech consultant based on ASTM C39. They reported concrete break strength of 24 cores, and they average around 7000 psi.
This value seems high, that's why I was wondering if I should be taking extra reduction factors for aged concrete in a high...
Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of designing post-installed anchors to connect the columns of a steel storage rack to a existing slab. Due to seismic loading, the anchors are subjected to tensile loads from uplift in the columns.
The owner hired a company to perform testing on the existing...
