Ok, so if this hook is for the dowel at the base of a retaining wall going into the toe, then the minimum concrete cover is 3" because it is againts the earth (no form). Does this mean I can multiply this factor?
Not almost anymore! :-)
Can someone explain to me 12.5.3 Length ldh in 12.5.2 shall be permitted to be multiplied by the following factors.....
I feel like I dont really understand 100% for factors a and b.
Not almost anymore! :-)
I am not sure what you mean by knee wall. Do you mean interior wall? Just design the rafters to span the whole way. If you want the interior wall to take some load, then you need to declare it on your drawing that the interior wall is load bearing wall and you need to make sure you transfer...
A lot of the equations on ACI318-05 use "/" as a divide symbol but the whole texts are italics. So the / looks like I in italics. For example look at 12.5.2. Another engineer asked me what I was and I was confused too for a min. I think the / should me more in an angle. It looks like...
Nowadays just expect 3-4% raise unless you pass the PE or just finished your graduate degree or something. If you want bigger raises, you usually have to switch jobs.

No.. the .9 is for the rotten wood. The 1.6 is for the miled cow :) Define the milked cow.. the milk has been milked out or is it full of milk? The 1.6 is just in case they have a pregnant cow.
Not almost anymore! :-)
Ok, lets say you have 1 unit dummy point load on 10 by 10 foot slab. The pressure is .01 unitload/sf.
Then I do a fixed cantilever beam that is 5 foot long with .1 unitload/ft distributed load and look at the bending. The moment is .01(5^2)/2 = .125 ft.unit load.
So if you assume smaller...
How about building it to look like a yurt but you dont build it like a traditional yurt? Just do a round top plates and wrap coil strap (one piece) around the perimeter of the yurt's top plates to take care the thrust. I dont think you would get enough R value from 1x2 wall.
Not almost...
I assumed it it distributed to 10x10 area and check for punching shear and bending. The bigger the area you assume, the smaller the pressure, but the moment arm will get bigger (for bending calc). We were trying to find out how much load we can put on a basement slab. Sometimes...
