I am interested in learning of any experience with long term deflection of reinforced concrete beams or slabs that has resulted in problems, even if only appearance related. The ACI Code clearly requires consideration of long term deflection when deflection calculations are required. However...
I have come across a few cases recently where a good method of repairing deteriorated timber piling in marine environments would be useful...........any ideas??
I am trying to find out any new calculation procedures for determining the lateral earth pressure on walls, both retaining walls and foundation walls, due to compaction. I am familiar with some early procedures such as in NAVFAC........and proposals in literature.......however would like to hear...
Seeking to find out how highway departments deal with the issue of lateral loads on abutment piles.........what calculation procedures or software programs are typically used.........in some cases I have found that there is a lack of specific design for the lateral loads and so I am wondering...
I am interested in learning about specific cases of using epoxy or polymer adhesive to connect steel plates to concrete beams........as reinforcement.........particularly seeking information on shear, modulus of elasticity and creep potential........
Seeking experience with sagging of plywood roof sheathing for cases where the sheathing has been properly sized per the building code.......I have encountered such a situation and it does not appear to be a case of overload.......seems like the code provision is allowing plywood that is too...
I am interested in discussing the design of beam-column joints with any structural engineers who design reinforced concrete building frames. I am thoroughly familiar with the design issues...........but am seeking to find out if, and under what conditions, practicing engineers are using the...
