Hey All, I figured I'd throw this question out here, as I've searched the forum and most responses related to S-Frame are quite old. For those of you with experience using S-Frame and the subsequent suite of programs, how do you find them for general building modelling? At our company we use...

Link, the article claims that excessive pile settlement caused one of the spans to collapse.

When calculating the deflection of a simply supported concrete beam with a uniform load on it, I normally calculate the effective inertia as a result of the maximum moment as per the (Canadian) Concrete Design Handbook. I started to think about it though, does this assume that the effective...

Hi there, I'm having some trouble understanding the meaning behind clause 22.6.5 in CSA A23.3-04. It states that for plain footing strength in bending "The factored resistance in bending shall be based on a maximum stress in tension of 0.37*lambda*phi_c*sqrt(f'c) and a maximum stress in...

Hello, As my previous post explained Link, the Canadian company I work at will soon be getting into mid-rise concrete building projects. I’m involved with making a software selection for the company in order to assist us with the design of these projects. I’ve done some pretty extensive...

Hi there, The company I work at is looking to take on some low to mid rise concrete building projects. We are located in Canada. We have experience dealing with concrete foundations but usually do steel or wood structures above grade. I'm looking to get some resources to add to our collection...

Hello, I'm looking for some feedback on the proposed shearwall layout (see attached). My main concern for his building stems from the portion of diaphragm spanning between walls 4-1 and 6-1; this portion will have a 2 storey atrium located in the centre of it as well. We are in a relatively low...

Hello, I'm wondering how people typically deal with large tension and shear values at the top of a foundation wall from a braced frame. It appears that following Annex D Anchorage from CSA A23.3 concrete failure will occur unless I put a pilaster in the wall. I have read the Design of Anchor...
