I am designing a piled foundation (bored cast in situ pile, pile head is fixed)for a piperack in high seismic zone. The SDC is E.
As per ASCE7-10,Cl. 12.13.6.5 (1),in the case of uplift, the anchorage shall be capable of developing nominal tensile strength of pile longitudinal reinforcement. I...
I am designing a steel structure in Seismic Design category E using Equivalent Lateral Force procedure. As per Cl. 12.5.4, I should consider 100% seismic load in one direction + 30% seismic load in perpendicular direction.
As per Eq. 12.4.1/12.4.2, I should also consider Ev+-Eh.
Should I apply...
