Does anyone know of any interaction formulas or methods for calculating bored pier diameters and depths subject to axial tension and shear loads?
A typical example is a pier to support one of the columns in a trussed tower. The column baseplate/pier is subject to both tension and shear loads...
Does anyone know of any resources/design examples on the design of a large steel framed stockpile cover?
This is a sheeted roof only structure.
Please see the attached for a sketch arrangement.
Does anyone know of guidelines in regards to the depth and timing of saw cuts in SFRC slabs on ground?
I attended a seminar a few years ago where 1/2 depth was recommended, however this is being questioned by certain concrete contractors.
The structure i am considering consists of 13.5m high steel plate bin walls interlocked together on a 3.6m x 3.6m grid (4x4 bin arrangement, total plan size 14.4 x 14.4m).
The support framing consists of nominal steel beams in a grillage at a height of 7m. (top of bins 20.5m high)
The columns...
Does anyone know of any design guidelines/recommended procedures for determining the shear and tension capacities for cast in plates to concrete wall panels?
Does anyone know of any design guides/formulas for the bending moment distribution for a concrete wall panel used as cladding on a single storey portal frame building subjected to lateral wind loads?
The base of the panel is considered to be fully supported (tied into floor slab), and the top 2...
