Shoring - what is proper way to distribute lod to s.o.g.?
(OP)
The attached photo shows temporary steel post shores placed under a reinforced concrete suspended slab in preparation for repairs. Are the wood blocks placed eccentrically under the base of the post shores the way it is usually done when the post is supported by a slab-on-grade? I am surprised a) that the blocks are smaller in area than the bottom steel plate on the post shore, and b) that many of them are eccentrically placed.

The first one is essentially a wig, so I'd hazard a guess and say it was ment to take out the slack of the post, in a real bad manner.

My bottom line: if you don't like it, you'd better not accept it. The sub-contracted shoring engineering keeps sending me, sigh, half a$$ documents and calcs for review and approval, the feeling is they want me to sign off on the bare minimum they can get away with, and here I am on a forum on 4th of July weekend!!!

By the way, it is not a holiday here in Canada.
