WSD method for Concrete Design

WSD method for Concrete Design

WSD method for Concrete Design

(OP)
Dear All
i have task on hand to review structural integrity of Foundations, constructed in 1980 using WSD method for concrete design.
Can any body share some Design guide or helping material, which i can use to design the concrete foundation based on ASD method.

RE: WSD method for Concrete Design

Apply current code theory. The only reason to review under defunct codes is to investigate liability, or when a system is in place that will *not* meet current code. It would appear (at a glance and with just the info you provided) that you have no need to reach for anything you're uncomfortable with in your case.

RE: WSD method for Concrete Design

Just use LRFD. I think ACI318 had ASD in an appendix up until maybe the 92 version. Most masonry texts still have ASD methodology so you could go to one of those for a reference.
