No hot work in those shipping containers. Also the simplest models are 20' shipping containers with pipes going through the long side.
It's akin to entering a shed or a mechanical room - even if I wanted to add more exits there's literally no path other than the way you came from, 5 to 10'...
Thanks for the feedback.
The purpose of the shelters is to include some degree of sabotage/tampering protection. Also to protect the mechanical equipment/pig launchers during blizzards. Those shelters would be vacant during the winter and accessed during the start up of the line each year and...
Hello everyone.
Quick question - are valve shelters along a pipeline usually subject to building code requirements with Fire Exits, panic bars, all that fun architectural stuff?
I have a project where we have prefab shipping containers with valves, vacuum breakers, etc. and I'm wondering if...
Agreed for a typical work, but I'm on site 7 days a week and one of my jobs is overseeing all the bending of rebar, which is done from straight bar here on site.
Thanks for the feedback on hook design le99, much appreciated.
Piles are not that deep into the slab (I think), just 100mm from...
I shared the loads in post #5. There's no equipment inducing vibrations in this building.
As mentioned in a previous post, the piles take all the loads of the slab. The soil has 0 bearing capacity in the design since permafrost degradation incurs settlements measured in feet, not inches. Piles...
Here's a crude sketch of the design. Pictured here with 135 hooks.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=195e99c7-873d-4ee8-b045-9c8d5021d500&file=Sketch.pdf
The spall in question would not be caused by the piles and their embedment in concrete, but by the stirrups around them.
There's 3 sets of stirrups on each side of the piles (North-W-E-S) for a total of 12 sets of stirrups per pile. I've been told by the designer that these take the shear...
I read CSA A23.3 7.1.2 and that is why I made this thread. I have a hard time figuring out what qualifies as restraint.
FYI we're working with 50mm cover top of slab and 75mm bottom of slab. In areas where there's a base supporting process tanks we need to add an other 200-300mm of concrete...
Load on slab are 40 kPa for containment areas, with process tanks in the 300-330 kPa range and piles are 406mm diameter (16"). Rebar for the mat is 25M and stirrups are 20M.
Disclaimer: I'm not the designer, I'm the client. Just trying to get more technical information to challenge the designer...
Hi all,
First post, I've been lurking threads for a long time but this one time my case is specific enough that a search did not produce any conclusive answers.
I'm on site building a slab on piles for an industrial facility, we're bending everything by hand due to the fast-track nature of...
