There is a concurrent session on AI in structural engineering happening in the ASCE structures congress I believe today or yesterday, I wonder what has been said on the topic there.
I've heard through the grapevine the use of AI to identify deficiencies in bridge infrastructure, the inspector...
Sleep well knowing that the contractors are responsible for building to spec. You can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. Besides, if I catch wind of improper construction (meaning I've been contacted to fix something) and it is not due to an underlying design flaw, it is additional...
I know you could knit a sweater with all the threads on this topic but I am still not satisfied with what I've found. I am hoping for a sanity check.
I have modeled an open (25'x15'x13'), wood framed, pitched ramada structure with a tile finish, king posts and knee braces in RISA-3D. As...
Thank you for your response @KootK, I agree with your statements and if the beam were not designed as fixed (and even if it was and the moment was smaller) I would be inclined to send the design in that direction or even use a corbel. However, this joint experiences a fairly large amount of...
HTURKAK I do not have a copy of that detailing manual however I do have the guide it references (ACI 315R-18). The most direction the guide gives me is to follow ACI 318-14 10.7.6 and the detailing requirements of Chapter 25. Following this guide I would begin my column ties at the termination...
I am in the process of designing a concrete beam-column joint that is not intended to be a part of the seismic or lateral force resisting system of a building. This joint will be transferring shear forces due to moment into the column and of course the vertical shear in the beam into the column...
