Bookmark or Share- Shear in Mat Foundations - Structural engineering general ... - Eng-TipsDoes anyone have any good references for designing for shear in mat foundations. In particular I am talking about large mats that support multiple shear walls and columns and are not easily divided up/visualized in any particular grid. - Usually we provide a thickness such that shear reinforcement is not required.
- Pile Hammer Size / Driving Criteria - Foundation engineering - Eng-TipsA fairly large hammer is the needed to overcome the friction during driving – the “penalty” is that there is significant movement with each blow. However this “penalty” is an illusion – when driving is stopped, skin friction will rapidly reestablish itself to provide bearing capacity (I’m certain you know why & how better than I do).
- Load Capacity of a Concrete Warehouse Floor - Eng-TipsThis is a large warehouse at a huge manufacturing facility whose other buildings have large equipment. This building has a 5-ton gantry crane in it so they obviously intended to move heavy things around. My gut tells me the equipment is fine but I'd like to be able to calculate it within some safety factor.-----Bring back the HP-15
- Gun Barrel Tank Design and Setup - Storage tank engineeringWhat defines the capacity of a gun barrel? Is it simply a very large (for the most part) 2-phase liquid/liquid vertical separator? Must the gun barrel be taller than the tanks it feeds into, or must the level simply be higher to avoid having to pump? I think this is pretty obvious but never hurts to ask. Thanks folks,-m
- L-Pile and Fixed vs Free Head Conditions - Eng-TipsIf you have a large diameter drilled shaft foundation (7 to 8 feet) which is properly embedded in the overlying concrete cap, you have a 'fixed head condition'. This I am comfortable with. The structural engineer has provided us with axial, shear and moment forces for this pier. By having a...
