    Metal floor deck attachment to bar joists

    I have searched thread titles and do not seem to find an answer to what I think is a simple question. I have specified a 1.5" composite metal deck for a floor assembly and the deck supplier came back with questions such as support pattern for 5/8" welds, spacing at perimeter supports and...

    Taking the PE exam before experiance

    In order to get my Master of Civil Engineering I had to make "satisfactory" (whatever that means) on the PE test. After 4 years of experience, I was able to get my license. Getting reciprocity was a little difficult back in the day (early 90's) because I was a early taker (it was required)...

    Risa 3D to Floor; diaphragm and seismic loads

    I stand corrected on the "I don't believe floor will generate....." I have never used Floor to generate lateral loading, I generate lateral and wind loads after I direct to 3D from Floor. I have only used rigid diaphragms. In newer versions of Revit, an analytical model is no longer...

    Risa 3D to Floor; diaphragm and seismic loads

    I don't believe Floor will generate any lateral (seismic, wind) loading, only vertical. I normally start with a Revit model, transfer to Floor (which in the latest versions of Revit have been a pain),clean it up, input the floor loading, then "direct" to 3D to generate seismic.

    Shoring an existing clay brick wall

    Hi all, I am tasked with shoring an existing clay brick wall. The situation I have is the brick wall is not parallel to the column grid line. This forces me to "shim" the horizontal W8 near the top back to the columns. What I have presently shown is L6x6 at the tips of the inner column...

    PE Exam Cable Practice Problem

    Is not cable BC at a 2/4 slope rather than 1/4? I have not gone through the problem to try and solve it yet, just a quick observation.

    Fink Truss failure

    I agree with KootK 4 points and jayrod12's speculation concerning the change in bearing location. The knot doesn't help, either. I assume there are other trusses. Are they behaving the same way?

    Closely spaced cabins; creating water rise/contributing to flooding?

    Mispoke, flood ventilation required for enclosed elevated floors.

    Closely spaced cabins; creating water rise/contributing to flooding?

    As a follow up, I got with our County Floodplain Administrator, as he said that the county adopted a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance which requires the establishment of BFE for elevation certificate purposes along with the floor to be 2' above. Flood venting is required for elevated SOG.

    Closely spaced cabins; creating water rise/contributing to flooding?

    TerryScan, not sure about any regulations (have not asked, going for site visit Monday and will see) regarding building in a flood zone in this area. The county in which this is located has adopted flood zone regulations and I am fairly certain (but will find out)they would pertain to this...
