    85' Long Residential Footing and Stem Wall Design

    Can anyone direct me with a resource for designing a RC footing and stem wall for a house 85'x35'? I'm not concerned about dead and live loading as I am about the length of it. What kind reinforcing should be considered to resist the torsional movement it will see? Thank you in advance for...

    Wood Knee Braces - Carport

    If I bolt the knee brace into the beam and column, the weakest point is the shear of bolts correct?

    Carport MWRFS or Open

    The lateral force would just be the wind pressure (P) multiplied by the area of the sheathing correct?

    Carport MWRFS or Open

    I read it over, does that mean I would apply free or obstructed flow? in this case obstructed is less than 50%, so free.

    Carport MWRFS or Open

    Hello all, I am calculating wind loads on a carport in Florida. All of the walls are open, but the gable ends are going to be covered with sheathing and siding. Would this be considered an open structure or a MWRFS?

    AISC clarification Table 3-10

    If I braced the web, would it suffice the requirements or would I still have to brace the compression flange?

    AISC clarification Table 3-10

    Can someone please explain what they mean by unbraced length in table 3-10 of AISC? Is it lateral bracing? (e.g. the roof rafters sitting over the steel beam I am specifying are 2-foot OC, would that mean that the unbraced length is 2'?) Thank you in advance for your help.
