Hi Everyone! I am working on a modular project. We are the EOR for the project, and as the modular project, it will be delegated design. We are anticipating to design the foundation for loads, and in the meantime, we are working with the layout to get a better understanding of wall placement for...
Thanks everyone for the replies. I do plan on having a friend who does wood structures review whatever I end up designing. I have contemplated getting a pre-manuf building, but based on the location, and my access to labor, I was planning on saving a few dollars by doing the stick framed instead...
@Jae Thanks for the reply. We are located in a township that county building codes are applicable and this needs to be designed and seal by an engineer(I'm a commercial structural engineer). I've done some multi-family and used sheathed stud walls for lateral. I've got my wind loads and have...
Hi everyone, I'm looking at getting a 120ftx60ft garage/storage space for my house (own a big lot), and i'm looking at getting pre-engineered trusses and doing traditional 2x6 stud framing for walls. I've done a of commercial projects, and this is my first big project out of wood without...
I'm working on a warehouse project renovation which was done back in the 60s-70s. The main level floor has a pre-cast double tee system that will be later used for a trash enclosure with a trash compactor. The existing drawings of the project include a typical detail for a prestressed double tee...
Thanks @dik and @Jerseyshore
The deck is also being designed for H10 vehicle loads, assuming that someone could drive a maintenance vehicle over the deck. SO the wheel load of 8 kips, assuming it was close to the edge of the cantilever creates higher moments and that's where the reinforcement...

Currently working on a walkway that spans about 15 feet between supports. The I'm going with a deck that's about 2" in height and 6 inches of concrete cover. The deck sits on top of two Wx steel beams that span the 15 ft and are 8ft apart, with 3 foot cantilever deck on each...
I'm working on a open canopy with HSS 4x4x1/4 posts, the owner wants the posts to be placed embedded in the concrete and not a base plate with anchors. I can't seem to find a good reference for moment, shear and pull out capacity of the post embedded into concrete. I saw a few Eng-Tips threads...
Hi everyone,
I have a two-part question in regards to a one way span for a slab. I've attached a sketch of the slab, with loading and dimensions.
First part is the slab is supported on steel beams which are 8ft apart, and the slab cantilevers 3 ft on each end. It will have two cantilevers. I'm...
Hi everyone, I have the question in regards to the ASCE 7-22 chapter 26 Topographic Factor Ktz. In the section it does not mention how far back we need to considered any topographic effects that can speed up the wind velocity. I'm working on a project, and it has an escarpment and a ridge, which...
