jhnblgr has a good suggestion to bring the footing up to slab level. Can the roof provide lateral restraint? What if roof need to be removed? I would tend to not rely on the roof providing restraint and allow some movement at the top of the wall. What about drainage, exterior loads, property...

You're a mechanical engineer and out of practice. Get a structural engineer involved. Remember if it fails it's your neck on the block.

It must be perfect.

I would suggest a 12mm rod put in the hole. Judge by eye and measure if in doubt using a 6 deg gauge as mentioned.

Lapping gives continuity, not fixity, at least in my understanding of the words. You get continuity and additional capacity over the support which is treated as a pin support for design.

Thank you. There's several things in AS2304 that are less than clear.

HTURKAK, here you are, Australia uses metric units.

In AWWA D103, Sec. 14.3 Seismic Design Loads H = distance from bottom of shell to MOL in feet (m) What does MOL mean? From comparison with API 650 I think it is the maximum water water level, so Max Operating Level perhaps?

Have you tried the Draftsight community forum?

I think what you want is AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 APPENDIX B USE OF TEST DATA FOR DESIGN

I am puzzled by this. P1 and P2 are referred to as pressure components but the units are kN/m height. How is PT converted to hoop tension? Referring to AWWA D103 it would appear that this is the hoop tension and hence the stress will be PT/t . If this is so then it should read; P1 =...

Do you have a layout? Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang

Here's my solution using normal functions. No macro required. My approach is to first divide it into bite size pieces, so I deal with each level separately and combine those into the final result. It's easier to debug this way. I have used two columns to find the text for Level1. You can go back...

Without knowing more about the source I would suggest pasting as unformatted text. Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang
