Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this software which can design check shear walls by importing pier/spandrel forces directly from ETABS?
The website www.structuralaps.com was referenced on another thread but it no longer exists. I would really appreciate any assistance in sourcing a...

I wish to find a site where I can download a copy of the EZ-Shear Wall software referenced in this thread.
The website posted, www.structuralaps.com, no longer exists. Can anyone help?
What is an acceptable minimum roof live load requirement for a temporary office building (3 to 5 years)?
Would 10 psf be acceptable???
The construction method is modular using timber framing on steel framed floor deck supported above grade on concrete foundation pedestals. These type of...
ACI 318-05 Appendix D allows the use of J or L hooked bolts and D.5.3.5 covers the equation used to calculate the pullout strength in tension.
Is there a value for Abrg that can be used in D.5.4.1 for the side-face blowout strength of a J or L bolt?
If so, how is it calculated?
Consider the following hypothetical situation. I have a heavy reinforced concrete raft foundation pad, 400mm thick which will be constructed on a loose to medium dense sand. The Geotechnical Report recommends that the foundations should be constructed on piles to reduce differential settlement...
I am currently designing a 3 storey reinforced concrete structure over basement on a very loose sand/silt sub-grade. The Geotechnical Investigation Report recommends bored piles for the foundations.
The basement of this building will be subjected to ground water ingress so I wish to tank the...
I have encountered a problem using the FLOAD Command in Staad/Pro 2000.
If the Fload command is used using the YRANGE parameter only, the distribution of loads throughout the floor in question appears to be calculated correctly. However, if one uses the Fload Command to apply an overall floor...
In ACI 318 I cannot find any direct provision for the traverse spacing of shear stirrups in wide reinforced concrete beams (1m +). The code only seems to refer to the standard longitudinal spacing of stirrups using 2 legs. Can anyone give me some guidelines on this topic?

I propose to clean the surface of some concrete sidewalks/pavements using a Torbo Wet Sand Blasting System. The existing surface is dirty due to oil stains, bubble gum, ferrous oxide stains etc.
What type of sealer product can I use to seal the concrete surface when cleaned? The sealer should be...

I would be very grateful if someone could direct me to any websites which give information on the calculation of the Gross Moment of Inertia (Ig) of masonry units along with the calculation of the Cracked Moment of Inertia (Icr). I require this info for designing cmu walls using the Strength...
I would be grateful if anyone out there can help me with the following problem.
I have a building which is cladded with granite panels and the joint sealant has now failed. I wish to re-seal the joints. My problem arises where the existing joint between adjacent panels is TOO NARROW and the...
Does anyone out there know a website where one can download Dimension Properties of Standard Steel Sections. I am particularly interested in European Sections e.g. IPE200, HE200B etc.
Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

Does anyone know of any good web sites where I can get details on connections of precast concrete wall panels to structural steel frames. Until now I have not been able to find any. I am also interested in any sites dealing with tilt-up wall construction.<br>

Does anyone out there know of any Plastic Wood Manufacturer who can produce a composite plastic wood section with a tubular steel insert? As you know plastic wood is very flexible with a low E value. The addition of a steel tube in the center of the cross-section would improve properties enormously.
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has any experience of using Re-cycled Plastic wood in Composite Beam Construction. I intend to use a commercially available Plastic Wood section, e.g. 2x6, and form a composite beam using 2 sections of plastic wood along with a 5mm thk. flitch plate of...
