Hi Rapt,
Thanks for that - As a specialist PT floor plate designer, I would think the best way to deal with this would be for the designer to raise the calculated tie force with the project structural engineer just to get confirmation that the load has been accounted for in the framing (though...
Understood. Thanks mate.
If the slab is continuous in each direction at the nodes, is it not the case that installing unique/specified "tie" reinforcement such that it is located within the node and fully developed past the nodal face in tension renders it a CCT node? And if this reinforcement...
Hi Naftali,
Appreciate the response.
Determining the tie force as you have done above is not so much the issue in my case. In terms of resolving this, my intention is to provide tie reinforcement fully anchored at the top and bottom nodes to have a local rigid transfer system rather than...
Hi Team,
