    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.

    Pursuit of Excellent Details

    Pursuit of Excellent Details

    CALTRANS has good standards for Civil. Their Example of line-color is simple and straightforward. A few thoughts : A. A is how the person starts detailing as an engineer first, not a CAD man first, is probably first the Layer for every different type of piece. B. The Details like CALTRANS...

    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...

    Timber In International Residential Code

    I’m pondering the IRC from the Wall Bracing Webinar because the portrayal of the Tables R602.10 provide in-depth narrowing down of the designing of timber works. Particularly when approaching a set of plans in the first Design steps the table surely is enacting a complete design scenario...
