There is a pervision on IBC section 1912 that over-writes the ACI chapter D limitations. End result is, you apply a 0.75 - factor to your factored nominal capacity of the anchor rod.

I just finished my masters, and to tell you the truth it is a lot of pain. Good luck with it. Some of the classes that i would suggests in addition to "definetely take category" are: Advanced Structural Analysis Structural Dynamics Into to Finite Element Analysis Prestresed concrete Advanced...

Just to give some background info: the company I work for is a very big consulting company, I have been working for three years and my performance reviews were very good. My dilemma is that I just received my MS in Civil Eng and I was thinking of asking my boss for a raise. Based on all of your...

R = 0.0834 with 1.5 years

J1D, all of your comments are valid, but the casing width is set, and batter piles are not a feasible option becouse the axial loads are very high, and geotechnical capacity of micropiles would be not good enough. I also considered the grout to take some commpression but it is only 10% of total...

Thank you for your response JiD, The reason why it was considered a fixed head connection was that more latteral capacity can be achieved from the micropiles. Micropiles are emeded 20" in pile cap and i have checked that there is enough embedement to transfer the moment. What i am having...

Try to keep a 2.5*d_pile spacing. whatch for tension on piles due to overturning effect.

Hi everyone, I am designing a foundation consisting of micropiles (10" OD steel casing, filled w/ grout). Since my design assumes a fixed-head, i have to design the micropile for max fixed head moment. I am having difficulty to find what is the allowable bending stress specifically for...

Make sure that your embedement depth can develop the fixed moment(if geotech has given you capacity based fixed head moment condition).
