Thank you very much WaRose and Bones206!!

I know there are means and methods of designing Blast resistant "occupied buildings". However, for process structures which are very rarely occupied but could be housing blast capable equipments, do you ever consider blast loads while designing those structures? These are typically open...

Thanks bones206 for your feedback. In my opinion also cast in place concrete is the way to go. But the CM is being anal about "moving field hours to shop".

Hello all, In one of the project specs I am working on, the bottom most floor of the process module is required to be solid to capture potentially contaminated rain-water. The module is huge (150'x300'). I am used to using concrete at the base floor and to be installed on site after the module...

Thank you all. Here is what I found in “GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING CIRCULAR (GEC) No. 8 - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF CONTINUOUS FLIGHT AUGER PILES – FINAL - April 2007” by FHWA. 7.5.1 Use of Integrity Testing Integrity test methods require careful interpretation, which should be performed by...

I have about 300 Auger Cast Piles going in a refinery. PIP STS02465 Section 5.2.1 States that -- "Piles shall be tested as specified in ASTM D5882 or by single or cross hole logging as specified in ASTM D6760 or both, as specified in the contract document." The question is do we have to test...

@wannabeSE I am extending all longitudinal rebars (8~ #8) into the pile cap and have full development length (achieved by terminators). The only fixity perpendicular to the frame is provided by the flexural stiffness of the piles. I understand that the pile cap will rotate and this rotation will...

Unfortunately grade beam is not an option since the pipe supports are 50' apart and pile moment capacity is the only moment resisting mechanism.

Thank you GeoPaveTraffic. I have reposted my question in the appropriate forum, as you suggested.

(Reposting in the correct Forum) Hello, I am structural engineer designing AC Piles for the first time. I have a situation where I am using 2- 18" dia. ACPs (w/ Pile cap) to resist moment and shear in both orthogonal directions. (Pile cap is supporting 45' tall H-Frames for a flare line). I...
