Hi kruq, Not at all an answer to your question, but you might find interesting this software: https://www.ideastatica.com/steel/ (there is option to calculate either accord to EC or AISC) For me it would take ~10min to model and run check on connection like this For the first time user of...

Hi Lomarandil Thanks for your answer! Comparison with the footing seems very logical. But anyhow its a bit different situation - so I wonder is there some design guides that addresses situation like this. Best Regards

Hi KootK, Thanks for an answer! One important thing I forgot to mention ~98% of the load that goes to column comes from wall. Then the question would be - what if the wall is directly over the column? I guess - if in that case wall thickness is the same or bigger than column diameter - we...

Hey, I would highly appreciate any help in the following issue: Reinforced slab is supported by round column. And there is load bearing wall on the top of the slab (see an image) For example Eurocode 2 doesnt give any guidance how to take that wall in to a count when calculation the slab for...

Hi, I have to calculate a concrete wall. I'm bit confused about the part between the windows. (see an image) I'm calculating that part as a column but not sure what is the right way to determine effective length of that column. Conservative way of course would be to take height of the wall. But...

A lot of info out there. Take a look to this one: Link There is guidelines for BIM, developed in Finland.. BR

Hmm,i'm a bit lost now. Yes I understand that horizontal reaction depends on the poisson ratio. I have it 0.2 - as for uncracked concrete. That is not correct? For cracked concrete its 0, in that case horizontal reaction will be 0 as well.. Wall is supported by 'bunch of equally spaced pins'

Thanks KootK..

Hi, I'm calculating anchor bars for concrete shear walls. When there is vertical load applied to the top of the wall we get horizontal reaction at the bottom (see the image). Logically the sum of those forces must be 0 as they have opposite directions so there is no need for anchor bars due to...

I have to calculate reinforced concrete wall which are supporting hollow core slabs. I wonder - will that be enough if i consider only vertical force from upper wall and vertical force from hollow core + moment caused by eccentricity? Or will there be some "clamping" moment from the hollow...

==>Zambo I have similar situation: factory floor - 120x40m. It will be casted in 4 bays -40*30m

Hi, Question about movement joints: What should be the minimal distance between movement joints for the reinforced concrete slab on the ground (thickness-150mm) Thanks
