NOLAscience, in this type of project (2-story private house), there's no need to have the review from a P.E.. The review from a P.E. doesn't depend on the engineer's experience but rather on the classification of the structure:
1) Buildings for public use.
2) Housing complexes whose...
In the case of Option 1, the pouring should be a two-stage process then. First, pour to the level where the grout sits, and then pour to the top of concrete defined? The reinforcement should be stopped before reaching the anchors, or it should be caged?
Does anyone have a picture of a process...
I'm currently considering these two options. I believe that when the column is embedded, it will bear against the concrete, and the free body diagram (FBD) will change, affecting the design methodology.
Thanks to all for the responses.
To provide context, here in Chile, for concrete, we follow our NCh430 standard (a "copy" of the ACI 318-08 with some requirements from ACI 318-11 added after the 2010 Earthquake...
Hi everyone,
I'm working on my first independent structural engineering job right after university. I have to design a 2-story steel house, using tubular sections for the columns and IPE sections for the beams. Initially, I was thinking of designing the base plate with 4 anchor rods, as I was...
