Hi Everyone
This question is purely for my own curiosity as I have never come across this before (I should also say that I am a junior engineer). I have a set of drawings from 1942 (I'm doing some renovations on a building). On the drawings most of the reinforcing steel is stated as 2-5/8"...
Does anyone know of a good website that may have drawings for the installation of a dock leveler and/or overhead door? We already have the dock, we need to cut into existing concrete to install the dock leveler.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks for the help. I'm starting to read up on the EF method.
fuatornarli - I tried to access the slab design spreadsheet but it's not letting me, I can access other ones.
Also, that was a good point about the freeware, I just have access or the means to get a good program right now!
I need help with a two way slab problem. For some reason I just can't get started with this. I don't have much design and analysis experience and I need a starting point.
Here's the problem. We have a two story building and there is a machine that weighs 5 kip currently in the basement, but...
I'm wondering about small sizes of rebar, how small do they manufacture, is there any information about these sizes anywhere? I can't seem to locate any info so far. I seem to remember seeing something about size 5M bars somewhere, but I can't be sure at the moment. I'm a junior engineer and I'm...
Replacement is out of the question right now, because I work for the governement and by the time someone would get the paper work done to replace it, it will have failed for sure. It's not exactly at the top of the list of things to be done at the moment, and will probably be replaced in after a...
I'm not 100% sure on all these questions. I'm new to this job and I am currently unfamiliar with the manufacturing support, but for this project I believe it would be more on the routine side of things.
But I can say that the flagpole can be lowered, and taken off the supports in order for it...
The pole is on a tilt, but not by very much, I guess you could say it is straightish (it also depends on how windy it is). There has not been an extenisve amount of damage (the holes have enlarged about 1/4"), most of it occuring during the hurricane, but high winds are slowly opening up the...
A hurricane is what cause the damage in the first place so basically it would be good if it was able to withstand high coastal winds at least.
Thanks for your help pba.
I am looking for some information on flagpole design. I am conducting some preliminary research into the correction of a problem with the pin openings on a flagpole. The flagpole is an aluminum, 50', cone tapered, tilt-down (pin connection pivot point with two steel channels for supports...
