See image attached. How would you reinforce this stairs-slab connection? Stairs are sitting on top of the RC slab so its not our typical slab to stair connection.

Ive made few calculations and there is a difference in moments if the support is horizontaly sliding or not. So its realy up to designer to decide and later on to reinforce the stairs. I dont think the stairs would break if the support is sliding. Ithink exactly opposite

Hello! Please see image attached. Whats you opinion on not conecting the RC stairs to the RC foundation slab? Basicaly the stairs are siting on top of the RC foundation slab and ar not connected with and rebar. The other end of the stairs is conected with the RC wall using U bars (tenssion lap)...

There wont be any compaction behind this wall! Only deposited material

Hello! Please see pictrue attached. My code (EUROCODE) defines that for contoling deflecion of RC slab one must see that the deflections are under the value of L (shortest slab span) divided by 250. Wich value for L would you take for this scenario? The walls are made from confided masonry and...

Ill guess ill just lower the safty factor from 2 to 1,50 for overturning. Other than that I dont see any other solution

I dont think this picture describes my scenario. What you have on the picture is an full soil profile behind the wall. I dont have this. Please see my picture

BridgeSMith...any chance for that picture? :-) @PEinc You mean the shifting of the force to the half of the height of the backfill and not on 1/3 from the bottom?

Bridgesmith thanky you very much! Any chance you could post an image that your text is relating to?

Hi! Please see attached image. How to calculate the horizontal pressure that the backfilled material will have on the retaining wall? The material will be deposited and will have this trinagular shape behined the wall. Usualy we are presented with problem that say that the material is compacted...

Pure magic! :-)

Please see image attached. Its an RC container. No matter what the width of the water block inside the container is, as long as the height of the water bloack is the same in all of 3 containers, the pressure on the bottom of the wall on all of the 3 containers will be the same. The walls will...

Heres an more detailed look. All masonry bearing wall will be connected with confining RC elements! The roof is flat RC slab!https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=845680b7-431d-418e-8aa1-513c731b4980&file=Capture.JPG

Hi folks! Please see attached images. The 1st floor slab is canterlivering from the groundfloor walls. Would you say that the 1st floor RC confining element (marked with "?") is necesary, since there is another one at the end of the wall? Thank...

Thank you:-)
