    Two Way Shear Stress - ACI Property Polar Moment of Inertia

    thread507-479051 I've read all of the threads related to this topic for the polar moment of inertia for two-way punching shear. All of the text books and examples I've seen only deal with bending about one axis. I find it hard to imagine that for a corner column you don't have bending about...

    ASCE 7 Wind Loads on Open Structures

    I have a question regarding ASCE 7-02 wind loads on open structures. ASCE 7 seems to sidestep wind loads on open structures except for monoslope roofs. Question: Can I just calculate the wind loads based on the enclosed/partially enclosed figures & equations and exclude the internal pressure...

    Calculating Water Flow Rate

    The facility that will ultimately use the water is for cooling towers at a power station. The water that we were getting from the city was effluent from their waste water treatment facility, but it's way out of spec. Our treatment facility can't keep up with the demand so we are adding this...

    Calculating Water Flow Rate

    I made sure to involve the utility from the get go. They told me the flow rate is 1550 gpm and the pressure in the line is 78 psi. This is for emergency use only. How do I calculate the head in the system after we pull out 1000 gpm? So instead of having a 78 psi pressure head at the main it...

    Calculating Water Flow Rate

    I need help in calculating the water flow rate in pipe line project. Given: 1. Tapping into the city's 8" water main. 2. Measured flow rate of 1550 gpm and 78 psi just upstream of the tap point, measured at a fire hydrant. By my calculation you have 181.52 feet of head available at the tap...
