medeek, It is exactly as you described it. A completely enclosed addition that is rectangular with a gable roof. Thanks everyone for your help.

I know for a fact I'm overthinking it, and you are right, with the porch on the building it would be considered a low-rise building. As I go back and look it seems like Part 2 of Chapter 27 might be the way to go. The definition of a simplified diaphragm makes sense for a wood framed addition...

That's just it. I won't be able to make a model to determine the frequency. This isn't a commercial building with a large budget, this is a family that wants an addition on their home. What I'm trying to determine is based on the type of structure, what wind loading method I can follow. If...

Hi all, I'm having some issues regarding the ASCE 7-10 classifications for structures. Specifically, what chapter I should be designing with. A little bit about the background of the project as it's a bit odd. There is some concern about adding a 4 season porch to an existing house, and...

Hey Everybody, A little background about the project: I'm currently working on temporary sheet piling for staging construction of a new culvert. The depth of excavation is 28' (1.5H:1V slope) so our plan was to use one or two rows of a whaler type system. Recently, we've received soil boring...

Thanks C2it. They are smaller in comparison to each other. I will try the 1mm apart from each other, never thought of that.

Hey everybody. I'm currently working on a pipe run in Caesar II 5.10 that basically has two pipes branching off from the main pipe at a certain intersection. Essentially, it's a four way tee or intersection. However, when I click on Start Run it gives me a warning about not being able to...

Hey everybody, Does anyone know where I could find seismic zones for Colombia? What would be great is if I could find Ss and S1 for IBC 2006. If that isn't possible finding a map of colombia with seismic on it would work as well. Thanks.

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I don't use this site as a reference, I use it for clarification. I posted this topic to see what other people are using for references. The only thing I've pulled off of this site was how to calculate the volume of an elliptical head, and that was after I double...

Here, found it again. http://www.mypearsonstore.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0131885561&xid=PSED Sorry man, if that is correct you have a long time to wait.

-StructuralEIT I don't remember where I saw it, but one of the sites I visited about S&J 5th edition stated that is set to come out September 08.

Yeah we have a couple copies of Blodgett around the office here, that is a good reference book.

Yeah I just found the 4th edition at amazon, it's from 1997, 10 years old already. I still think I'm going to get it though, looks like it would be a great addition, and so does SCI's Design book! Thanks!

Hey everyone, I have recently been thrown into the fray fresh out of college and have stumbled upon this site which has already helped me immensely. However, I was talking to another new graduate here and we both came to the same conclusion that it would be nice to get a book that has some...
