Thanks to all as it your input was very helpful! And yes, the piers are placed via pumping. My old "Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures" - pca from the class I took many many years ago helped as well but didn't get much into the pea gravel mix. Do you have any recommendations for ref...
Hi Everyone!
I have a design which calls for 18" dia drilled piers of fc'=2500psi with a 4" slump, 1 1/2 aggragate, and a .45 wc ratio. The contractor wants to use a "7 sack" pea gravel mix design for workability. It has been a while since I've taken my mix design class (I'm 55)but I seem to...
Hi and thanks for the replies and input. My question stems from the fact that in the soils report the geotech specified a 18H^2 force to act simultaneously with the active pressure. Since they do not do concrete engineering, they don't have a clue about the factors we use for these things...
I'm using Enercal for a cantilevered retaining wall system and they have a 1.7H factor (it will multiply the force by 1.7) embeded in the design program - for where they suggest earthquake forces from the soil are entered for the design of the stem of the wall.
My question is either to use...

My question is either to use 1.7H for the earthquake forces of the soil to the retaining wall or 1.0E as outlined in the 97 UBC. I'm using Enercal for a cantilevered system and they have a 1.7H embeded in the design for where EQ are entered on the wall. Also, do any of you use the smilutaneous...

Hi everyone!
I am seeking to find and purhase software for the structural design of wood structures that will do both lateral design and gravity design. I saw one about 1 year ago but lost the address. Can anyone give me any leads on this?
Thanks and have a great day!
David
