Seeking general information and thoughts about my hopefully good idea. I plan to develop 3 Florida residential properties using 3-D printing. The 3-D concept is very interesting. My plan is making an architectural and engineering 'statement' while developing the know-how for future projects. FYI...
DaveAtkins and StructuralEIT. Thank you both for answering my question. In California we are still sorting out the ICC, and as an architect I am less familiar with concrete strength design as I am with ASD wood design. Haven't tried LRFD for wood yet.
In designing a concrete grade beam resisting live and dead loads as well as wind/seismic OTM...can I take any stress increases for the reinforcing steel? Codes are ACI 318, 2006 IBC. Thank you.
