    foundation spreading restraint

    I would like to visit a consensus on use of grade beams for High Seismic Regions SDC D generally [not necessarily liquefaction region], to keep intact residential construction. With Faults along many regular boundaries, it seems of consequence not to require foundation elements to be tied when...

    Envelope Procedure image is misleading

    Envelope Procedure demonstrates a fault, it demonstrates a longitudindal ridgeline, not a gable end vs. a perpendicular to ridge directivity. L/B ratio is missing from the procedure. Use with grain of rice.

    Wood Floor Truss Plates - Failing

    I believe the plates are never tensión elements. So they should probably all be replaced with bolted members or steel plates. The plates are neither continuity plates. The plates are assembly plates, and they also should be nailed. You would probably find that the strut and chord members...
