many thanks ron i think your response makes good first pricinple engineer sense.many thank also to oson for that insight into the specification and the need to do density
testing in the fact that the six inch might get into the way
many thanks geopavertraffic for the quick response
The project that i am in charge of is the reconstruction of one our major roads .I have decided to use the spec of AAshto for my subbase and base material,however a lot of the old times think that i should use larger stone six inches and more in...
i am a young engineer presently responsible for a road reconstruction project and many of the old guys on the job insist that i should use six inch boulders in the subbase,however none of the spec for subbase or base in aathho of astm indicate any thing begger that two inch down
any advise...
does anyone know of a step by step guide to find the loads required for the design of a building starting from roof to foundation and how to tranfer them to the member for design purpose.
thanks in advance
