Thanks for reply,
Then how do they build the heel under the slope?! are they going to remove the soil, build the wall and foundation and fill it back with the soil ?!
like in this case, are they going to dig the slope in about 10' deep by 6' width (to create the footing), build the wall and...
I have a 10' (12" CONC. BLK.) retaining wall and I need to know how I should design the direction of the heel on this wall? ... I mean, the heel should be toward the slope or the steep? what is the common & best way to design that and where I can get more information?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am trying to build a new two story house on a slopped property, the soil report shows that I need to have piles & grade beams, the whole floor of the building is going to be a flat slab on grade (because I have a retaining wall behind the building).
Now here is my question: Does this slab...
Thanks for your respond,
so basically I don't have any torsion in my situation because the whole ret. wall is sitting continuously on the beam, (support to support) am I right?
but if overturning moment is the maximum moment how come the resisting moment is always greater than that?
last...
Hi Guys,
1- On Enercalc or Retain Pro, which one of these following numbers should be used for torsion design of a grade beam that holds a retaining wall above it?
Overturning Moment or Resisting Moment?
2- Base on that number above how can obtain the area of steel to design the number of ties...
Hi Guys,
I am trying to design a 10' retaining wall to retain against the soil on a sloped bare land, I don't know which way I should design the footing, I mean the heel portion of the footing should be toward the slope (under the slope) or opposite side? which way is more common and better...
Thanks for all of your inputs,...
Dinosaur!, The G.L.B. would be fine, the only thing is designing the connections, is there a book that shows how to design wood moment frame connections ?
What are the differences between regular moment frames and OMF's? , I have designed a simple moment frame around a garage door (small two story residential house , 20' W. x 8' HT.) and the plan checker asked me to design OMF ?!
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is it possible to build wood moment frame ?(for residential usage,like under the roof of the balcony).
If yes,how should I connect them together and to the foundation?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Everybody,
My question is about the rebar's layout on version 8 of SAFE.
Is this layout a construction layout ,I mean do I need to consider any more or less rebars to i oder to build the slab or the original layout would be enough? do I need to do any editing on that?
Any help and comments...
