Virginia has this section that gives the AHJ a lot of latitude in what they may request.

I think if you look close it's 300 ppl in an area ... not total occupancy of the building. Don't quote me on this but I think this was a difference in the IBC and ASCE-7
Ok thanks, when I first read it I was thinking it meant that for a flexable moment connection that if the angle was attatched to the column with bolts that the angle must me attatched to the beam with SC bolts.
So this really means that the bolts must be slip critical if the weld and the...
Can anyone tell me where to find an explaination of the types of lateral force resisting systems that are listed in IBC 2000 Table 1617.6.2. I'm really talking about what they mean by "detailed"," ordinary", "special" and "intermediate". Examples of what...
In the Schaum's Outline for Steel Design on page 163 in the connection chapter it says if a connection is to be made of both welds and bolts that the bolts must be slip critical? Where I can I find this in the AISC mannual or codes? Are these to be "SC" because of possible load...
What precaution and adjustments should be made during cold weather for the welding of shear studs onto a composite beam? Any good references or sources?? Thanks.
What are the primary differences in "Auger Cast Piles" and Cassions? Is there another name for an "Auger Cast Pile" Any good references for design? Thanks.
I am trying to reinforce an existing composite beam. The beam is a W12X14, 20' long, with a 5" concrete deck. There are 21 uniformly spaced shear studs across its length.
Are their any references that cover something like this?
The reason I was asking this is in Das "Principles of Geotechnical Engineering" 3rd edition page 384 he talks about the how Jaky's equation under esimates the Ko if the back fill is dense sand. He reccomends using the folowing equation:
Ko=(1-sin(phi))+(((dry unit weight/min. unit...
I'm trying estimate the min dry unit weight of a cohesionless backfill we will be using. I am in need of this value to estimate (Ko)for a wall with compacted backfill. I have:
Max Dry Density
D85
D30
Cu
D60
D15
D10
Classification
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
What organization is the "Authority" in wood design and construction? What I mean by this is who is the equivalent in wood design and construction as AISC is to steel design and construction?
Thanks
