I’m working on the assessment of 50 year old marina seawall. The seawall concrete panels, despite its age, are in fair condition with exception of some broken walers and cracking wall cap. The biggest problem is that the backfill is escaping through the panel to panel tang and groove connection...
momgineer, and garpe like your idea, thank you!
Garpe, I'm not sure about "overlap the lower flitch beam with the one at the high ridge..." Can you explain more, or sketch it?
jdgengineer, cannot drop beam, attic ceiling height does not allow and cannot elevate it, we will exceed max roof height dictated by local ordinances.
More I think more I agree that STEEL is the way to go.
jdgengineer I like your idea, but cannot span vaulted flitched beam from wall to wall on each end of the ridge beam because dormers. You can see roof plan in my attachment.
I think I need to do similar what msquared48 suggested, design moment connection for points where ridge beam meets with...
I need to frame attic floor roof. Cannot have color ties and no ceiling joists from below to connect roof rafters to resist outward thrust force. I’m using 3-1/2”x 14” LVL ridge beam but unfortunately cannot place support on each end of beam (architect showing open space). What options do I have?
I've got this project to work on and I'm having hard time coming up with concept of presterssed pilings and cast in place concrete floor slab connection.
May be you have came across with something similar. In a beginning I was thinking to do simply like we would do for pile foundation with...
Builder did nailed double seal plate to the wood girder beam. I have wind loading on walls. Found out that I do not have required capacity for the shear, need to use lag bolts, and wall already covered. Since the floor is elevated I can make required connection from the bottom (going through the...
