Will mortar (parging) bond to foundation tar?

How can I maintain a white font being used over a raster image? The problem is when I select monochrome.ctb, and use white as my font color, the font turns to black. Thanks JMH Designs

I have a Client who is insisting that using multiple studs in a framed wall (residential construction) is the same as using a solid wood post that equates to the same dimensional lumber. For example, he insists that (2)2x4 spf#2 studs nailed together will support the same vertical or lateral...

dbuzz: 1. I could not find any provisions provided by IRC2000 for what you are talking about. 2. My client does not want to pay a Geotechnical engineer at this time. I have tried to explain to him that he should verify the soil. In lieu of a Geotechnical report, I am using 1500psf for the soil...

I have a situation where my client wants to add an entire second floor to his existing home. The home is a single story rambler built in the 70's with a 16" wide footing. Per IRC2000, the footing will have to be at least 19" wide. When I apply the PLF loading from the new second floor, my...

jrtm76, A 24" deep open web floor truss spaced at 24" o.c. without any additional roof loads would clear span the 27'-0" without any additional load bearing requirements in the center as long as the floor loading is 40#psf live and 15#psf dead. Contact your local truss manufacturer, they will...

TTK, Out of all design professions, I respect the PE the most. I have never and will never claim to have more experience than I have. My web site under "engineering" clearly states that I work with local PE's who will seal my drawings when required. In fact, I have been in the roof and floor...

Isn't it normally considered to load the I-Beam from it's top, transferring the loads through the web? If just the bottom flange (which is only 0.440" thick) is loaded, what is to keep the flange from separating from the web? Wouldn't the I-Beam have to be calculated with just the load applied...

Here is an actual photograph of the situation....

Thanks for the quick response. I am not an engineer. I came to this forum for some professional help. I am an AIBD professional member who mostly designs custom homes. I use Strucalc 6.0 to design simple beams, rafters, etc. Your mathematical solution is way over my head. I am not...

I have a situation where a residential framer has connected 16'-0" 2x10 SPF #2 Floor Joists @ 16" o.c. on both sides of a W10x26 A-992/50 I-Beam bearing on the W10x26 BOTTOM FLANGE ONLY. The 2x10's butt up to the I-Beams vertical web. My strucual engineering software will not calulate this...
