I finished university two years ago but I am encountering this scenario in this engineering firm i am working in and so i had to look into my past notes.
So the bearing pad sits between the concrete slab and the wall? Used to centralise the uneven loading on my wall? If i centralise this load...
It was a question in an exam which was worth only 4 marks. The examiner told me that it was a relatively simple procedure to adopt in order to obtain the "side friction" as it is only for a "preliminary design" so it much be a very simple calculation.
I consulted some other person about this...
Thanks Dick,
Well its just a design question not regarding any existing structure. Its a question posed by a lecturer at university and am unsure with the answer to it. I thought about:
- increasing slab thickness on either side
- placing a drop panel under the slab where the wall sits
But...
Hi everyone, this is a relatively basic question but i am not specialising in geotechical issues. The question is:
You are using a cylindrical caisson for a footing to a column and you want to take the load both in bearing on the end of the caisson and friction on the sides of the caisson. The...
Hi everyone, just an urgent question:
A concrete slab sits on the top of a brick wall. Uneven spans and/or uneven loads on the slab on either side of the wall will cause eccentric loading on the wall. What measures can be taken to reduce the eccentricity of the load?
Thanks a lot!
