Thanks for your comments. The zip code is 93555, Ridgecrest, CA. Basically i am interested to shallow groundwater elevations to monitor the moisture content of the concrete-slab floor.
I have a single story house with fire damage that started in the wall electrical panel. The manufactured wood trusses in the attic space are approximately 30 feet long and spaced at 2' on center. I see lots of smoke damage to the top chord and web members of the trusses, but no smoke damage...
I have a one-story building with concrete-slab floor on grade, with carpet flooring. The slab is approximately 40-years old. Recently one corner of the concrete-slab floor (by the exterior walls) shows sign of surface delamination/flaking. Any idea what may cause that after...
Thanks for the info. Yes the pipe has 45 and 90 turns. I will use the same equation but with some questions:
1. Is the Area of the pipe, inside or outside diameter of the pipe?
3. Is the water pressure A in the formula, actual working water pressure inside of the pipe?
4. Any factor of safety...
I have a new 14" (ID) ductile iron potable water pipe hanging from the bridge structure. The pipe is approximately 600' long, relatively horizontal, working water pressure is 100 psi, 1500 gpm (max). The pipe will be installed in the snow country. I need to design thrust block for the pipe...
I am using a 14" diameter galvanized steel pipe for potable water design. The pipe is exposed and hanging from the concrete bridge overhang. The pipe line is approximately 600 linear foot and water pressure inside of the pipe is 250 psi. The job requires that the pipe to be made in USA. I do...
I am looking for wind load acting perpendicular to water pipe line hanging from the bridge overhang. ASCE 7-10, is not clear about the equation and the coefficients to be used for the elements of the structure (pipe line). Any idea what equation to be used from ASCE 7-10? I was not able to...
Hi:
I am working on an old project and they have classified the soil as "Cemented Soil" under the foundation of the building. Table No. 29-B of the Uniform Building Code does not list the "Cemented Soil" in the table. I was wondering what soil class I can use for the allowable foundation...
For this size of slab, is the subgrade reaction modulus so critical? Generally settlement under a slab of this size is uniform, no matter the degree of settlement.
I am designing concrete pad for a large metal water tank. The water tanks is 65,000 gallons capacity and has 21 feet diameter. The total load of the tank, water and concrete is approximately 700 kips. I am using 12 inches thick by 25 feet square concrete slab pad to support the tank. For the...
