Ok I've drawn up the detail for the connection... let me know what you think. Factored loading of 70k vertical. 1/2" plate is due to available plate at the facility. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a5528de4-4223-4840-a9a9-aa2ff4e6c514&file=end_plate.png

I am looking at an existing structure requiring rework for expansion. The connection in question is between a W14X48 beam coming in on a 30deg angle to a W16x65 girder. As this is an existing structure we'll be field welding at heights. The best connection I can come up with is a welded/welded...

Thanks to everyone for your input. It has been greatly appreciated and very useful! All the best, Lindsay

Thanks for the help. The grant would be for the construction, not the study... Also, apparently the locals have tried in the past to make a channel directly into the ocean and it has not been a success. I will certainly give you that this might not have been an engineered approach. From what...

Thank you very much for the posts. They've had a geotech for a previous bin, which will abut this location. They are definitely intending to get a geotechnical report completed, but wanted to know whether this site is a possibility before investing in an expensive report for that location...

Just to clarify - this is not a hopper bin - it is a flat bottom. Thanks very much for your input. Does this mean that a stem wall is not a great idea? I am interested in the idea of piers and a cap slab, as well as an irregularly shaped pad. Another question. I'm having a hard time finding...

I have been asked my opinion on what seems to be a rather large floating slab. The problem is that I am a steel connection/erection engineer and have little to no experience in the Grain bin foundation field. The bin is 48'(diam)x74'(wall height) with corrugated steel walls (Sukup design)...
