How deep is the foundation? And how wide? If the footing is big enough, you won't need any bars! The bottom mat/bars will help to prevent the bottom face being split into tension by the applied load. So if there is enough development length of bar outside your 45 degree cone then fine otherwise...
Fascinating discussion.
My tuppence worth...I got involved in this when trying to understand Staad country code calculation to the French Code. I was finding beams that passed every other country code checks without issue, fail under the french code. It came down to Von Mises and the...
Hilarious stories!
I was blackmailed by Japanese admin guy into bringing porno back to Bahrain. I decided not to in the end. When I came back police were waiting for me and pulled me out. They found brown envelope but nothing interesting. So easy to get set up.
I agreed with all the...

Are you willing to relocate for work?

I understand BigInch's comments all too well but they don't help right now. It is survival and hanging on for a better day.

I like StructuralEIT's advice very much! This is exactly what I do.
I had a budget of ten months, with another colleague to complete the piperack design on a major project. We completed it in two months and we knew management were not interested in hearing that! So we invented a new project for...
I agree with Denial, right click bottom left hand corner scroll button gives you all the sheet names. You will return to the last active cell on that sheet.
Are you saying you are in cell B3, you want the drop down list to goto sheet 120 cell B3? Like some 3D database?

I am a fan of Excel VBA. It took me a long time and four years to crack the message of the godawful unintellegible VBA references. Once I got myself up and running I realised like everything else in life, 95% is cr&p and what I needed to know was quite simple.
My favourite trick is redrawing...
It is very easy to get the permission.
Copyright only works if everybody helps, both morally and diligently. We should be raising the bar not lowering it for convenience.

Oh I am blushing to remember this! On my first day in my job, I was smoking a cigarette. I was sort of daydreaming and thought I had blown the match out, but it was really too bright to be half sure. The match went into a paperbasket.......A few minutes later, big ball of fire and a quick...
I often use the print screen button to capture the window view in Excel (or anything for that matter) then go to Powerpoint and paste it in. Now when you click on the image in Powerpoint you can crop it to suit and stretch.

PSE is right, but I get feeling you are shooting beyond a first degree. This is the best way to get the degree anyway but I suspect your innovative interests will be kindled through a masters course, if you don't find your answers in the first degree.
I am a struct eng but I didn't even know...
I got my training agreement mostly signed off but the effort to complete it was impossible as I kept moving in location and it seems the ICE kept moving the goalposts too. I let it lapsed but have found it makes zero difference to my salary. I was never asked for it or required to have it.

I did my masters and it was the fastest and most intensive year of my life, even better than the PhD because it covered so much ground. Brilliant storehouse of relevant information and knowledge to last you a long time.
Be sure to check on strength and focus of the school and the staff, their...
