Thank you for your response. So from your experience, is there a concern with the two different bearing levels as per the image?
The only concern with your suggestion is the thickened edge is already considerably massive at 40". Taking it down would mean adding 12", making it 52" thick. I don't...
Hello,
There is an existing warehouse structure, say 30' tall PEMB, bearing on a slab-on-grade with a 40" deep thickened edge.
Our task is to design and build a new warehouse structure, same height, same build, bearing on a slab on grade. The new will be directly adjacent to the...
Yeah, my concern was the differential settlement that could occur.
We should be able to tie-in the walls just fine, but isn't the wall footing also helping to resist in-plane shear? If the designer accounted for the existing structure to help handle the in-plane shear loads, would we not also...
Hi All,
I am working a design-build project, and we have reached an issue during construction.
We have a small building that we now want to structurally extend. As-builts are limited. During the design, we assumed that the CMU walls extended 2'-0" below grade and were supported by a concrete...
Just to confirm - given the sample elevation I reattached to this post, would you all still classify this as a "simple box structure", and not particularly complicated? XR250 seemed to think it was more complicated than the info I originally provided in the OP...
Schematic Elevation if you didn't get it in the post above.

Hello Everyone,
First off, I want to thank all of you for your input and advice. Sorry for the delay, work and life have been hectic.
I posted the sample elevation in another post with a different question, but I will repost here for clarity. I don't think this will be a full CMU structure...
Hello,
I am a PE in FL with 8 years of experience in design. Job is in FL.
A colleague recently reached out to me and asked if I am interested in consulting on a small commercial project. They want a two-tenant 9,000 SF space, one story. I am assuming CMU walls with perimeter wall footings...
