    Tension force connection of PHC pile to pile cap

    Dear All Does anyone has experience or suggestion on connection of hollow prestressed concrete spun piles subject to tension with their pile caps. Our large spanning warehouse with strong wind resulting in net uplift force in these PHC piles say 20-30 kips per pile.Problem to us is...

    Cloumn Slenderness over 200

    Thanks ALL. In my case I have series of T-shaped column 21 feet high with very light loads say 1 kips on top with small eccentric. With slenderness kept within 200 it comes up with too heavy section for me comparing to others such as street lighting. Burtoni your value based on experience...

    Cloumn Slenderness over 200

    Could anyone give me the light to the background of limitation of 200 for col. slenderness. could we design column such as T-shaped frame with small load on top of its with slender over 200.? Does anyone know sources or information in predicting capacity such kind of this slender column. Thanks

    Concrete slab under fire

    Thank Ron, Rjeffery,Rapt. These are more informarion; - This warehouse is just single story, slab that I mentioned is slab at grade rest on piling support. - This warehouse was fired more than 4 hrs. Somebody said that all night long. The Steel roof truss was totally...

    Concrete slab under fire

    Does anyone has suggestions and checkpoints for concrete slab and rebar under fire. I have participate in assesment of this slab for warehouse which damaged by fire( more than 4 hrs). This warehouse use for chemical raw material stocking. After fire the superstructure was demolished, but we...

    I have problem with leakage in Raw

    KRSServices, nealt Thank you for your helpful hints. We checked the pond by check depth of water in various points along the pond,as nealt said it is diificult to check exact volume of pond. The problem is the client may not accept this pond as they quote that have to pay for...

    I have problem with leakage in Raw

    KRSServices This pond is currently leaking, what I have no idea is Is this leaking quantity is normal acceptable for such kind of this linning. Also, I understand that there shall be some evaporation. how can I calculate this figure. Thanks

    I have problem with leakage in Raw

    I have problem with leakage in Raw water pond lining with 1mm.HDPE SHEETwith welding joint type. My pond was 90 m. by 45 m.water level is 3.5 m. The water level is lower 1.2 mm./hour which is 2.88 cm/day. My point is we cannt find the criteria that this is accepatble for such kind of this...

    Can prestress wires in PC. pile sustained tension in pier

    Could anyone has idea about using prestress wires in PC. pile to transfer tension in pier. My colleague in office say that in case of piles subjected to tension due to wind such as in PEB building were penetrated too short and dowel have to cut out to reach design pile top level, we can...

    Anchor force

    steve1 I'm looking for anchor forces come from thermal operation, I've some estimating formula for preliminary design( as I stated before not detail design) such as in case of equal-length-tanget-U-loop ; Px = Kx . C . I / U2 (kg) Sb = Kb . C . D / U (kg/cm2) I'd thank...

    P-delta and slenderness

    hyper! What am I understanding you should not go further with P-D analysis without checking approx. means proposed by ACI. such as Q-stability index- first You should prelim. anlysis your frame with first order by reducing stiffness of columns and beams. ( 0.7 and 0.35 ). and...

    Anchor force

    pipesnpumps, steve1 Lot of thanks for your help. pipesnpumps---could you tell me more detail of ITT-grinnel manual, how can i get this informatiion. I'm not familiar with any pipe textbooks. What i want is to roughly estimate this anchor forces to my piperacks for preliminary...

    Model of slab on FEM

    I've been modeling 3-d FEM by using shell element for slab and connected to beam, the result of shear and bending even load tranfer to beam( by results of shear )is quite difference from conventional method from ACI. They give me with less moment in beam compare to ACI method. Could anyone...
