I am a big fan of cross https://www.cross-safety.org/ A lot of very good reports that have great info, great way to get real cpd, rather than finance for engineer or similar.
I have noticed recently that cross it now also reporting theories on poor design rather than reports of poor design...
I am getting a fair bit of push back from engineers in NZ on imp 2 Vs imp 1 building. I think this is because when I define my building as IMP 2 the footings in seismic regions is greatly increased. I don't really like adjusting my IMP 2 vs IMP 1, based on the opinion on the footing designer. (I...
NZ interior environment - warehouse without a cavity or insulation - discussion microclimate.
Is anyone classifying interior areas as Damp and C3 in cold areas? due to possible dew points a few times a year?
These are photos of an underside of a concrete slabs and beam system. The building is for a warehouse and is single storey.
The expansion joists are located roughly 1/3 span from the columns and all have spalling of the concrete at the joint.
Anyone crossed paths with something similar and...

For my code AS1170.2 you cannot apply a hill multiplier of less than one, even if you are in the shadow of the hill.
The hill multiplier is a factor that generally takes into account the increased wind speed as you travel up a hill. However I am on the flat in the lee side of a hill (ie in...
Wondering if anyone has this book and if they would be willing to share page 65 or the page with catenary . I only want to confirm an equation so am not keen to purchase the whole book, but if people think it is worth it I will try to track down a copy.
Also would anyone have...
As everyone would be aware, the roller door code AS4505 has been update and referenced in the BCA for regions C & D.
This has ensured that every roller door supplier is now supplying with wind locks.
my questions is do you believe we need to design for full internal pressure or just external...
A number of my buildings are having larger span folded roller doors with wind locks installed. This create a large tension force under wind loads, generally 10 times the load wind load on the door. Thus far I have been designing individual portal frames to go around the doors for strength as the...

The Australian wind loading standard is proposing to have a clause that states for cyclonic (Hurricanes and Typhoons)conditions that accidental opening must be included in the assessment of internal pressure.

following from thread "Post Tensioning as a Deferred Submittal" a discussion about Ieff=Ig for PT has been sparked, trying not to take over this thread I have started a new thread.
