thanks all for input and help.

Geez, why I did not think of that? ....... I was asking in terms of books or publications (more effective sources than throwing a stone in ocean, google) from someone who has done it before, kind of directly from horse's mouth. Anyway, thanks frv for suggestion. Every Problem is an Opportunity...

Does anyone know what is controlled modulus columns? Where can I find more information about this? Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

Can anyone share a typical concrete slab opening (elevated reinforced concrete) detail? I would appreciate it. I have a project where the contractor wants to leave an opening on concrete transfer slab for crane tower and infill later. Thanks in advance. Every Problem is an Opportunity for...

slickdeals, Thanks for the article. This is helpful. It may not make sense to say that we have engineers who have designed it, but they do not have drawings/details. Do not you think I asked them the details???????? It is really stupid not to ask them, and ask here in eng-tips. Yes, they had...

Yes, I am not kidding. I know people in the office who have designed mat foundation, but they do not have typical details I am looking for. As I said, I just want to see some typical details. I will definitely design reinforcing bars, thickness, etc. FYI, this is a multi-family building with...

I am working on a project that requires a design of mat foundation system. I intend to use #8 top and bottom bars and 48" thick mat. This is my first project that needs a mat foundation. I am looking for some typical mat foundation details (PDF details would do). Any help is appreciated. Every...

I am designing an elevated concrete slab for loading dock for multi-family building (USA). What is the live load requirement? Is there a section in IBC or ASCE7 that provides live load information for loading dock? I could not find it. Thank you in advance for your response. Every Problem is an...

Besides the fire rated requirements, what are the difference in structural design for type III-A and type V-A wood framed buildings, if any? Even though code analysis is done by the Architect, I am wondering if there are any specific design requirements for type V-A vs. III-A. Every Problem is...

thanks DST148. This helps. I will post it in IBC forum too... Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

What is the difference between wood framed type 3A and type 5A buildings in terms of structural design? Where can I find structural design reference for type 5A buildings? Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

Teguci, thanks again. Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

thanks Teguci. Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

I am designing precast piles and concrete slab on grade support system for a project in Maryland. Not being so familiar with deep foundation system, is there a bracing requirement for precast piles (braced laterally by the grade beam as the slab on grade will not be able to brace the pile caps)...

Thanks spats. The information is very helpful. Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

thanks all. Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

hokie66, I am talking about particular Auger-grout or concrete-injected piles (per ACI definition and types). Geotechnical engineer has specified 12" diameter Auger CIP pile to develope an allowable capacity of 100 tons per pile. Every Problem is an Opportunity for Engineers!!!!

I need to design an auger CIP pile (12" diameter per geotechnical report), and I have never designed one before. Is there a design reference book/manual available - per ACI guidelines? How do I start? In engineering, every problem is an opportunity!!!!

thanks splitrings. In engineering, every problem is an opportunity!!!!

Splitrings, I thought SP-66 is intended for detailers than the structural engineers. I do not have it though. Also, I only need RC details for building structures. In engineering, every problem is an opportunity!!!!
