Transfer structures are critical structural elements because their failure can be catastrophic. In the Eurocodes, the method of checking deflections using 'deemed to satisfy rules' is also applicable to reinforced concrete transfer beams.
Since most transfer beams can be treated as deep beams...
It is possible to have more than two columns in a strap footing. However, at that point, you may begin to ask yourself if the effort is worth it since a continuous beam and slab footing (continuous reinforced strip) can be adopted in such cases.
Just as said above, the stability, bending...
You can find in the example below, how to design pile foundations from pile load test according to Eurocode 7
Design of Pile Foundation Using Pile Load Test
I believe that the calculation shown on the link below on the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate determinate frames will be very helpful.
Deflection of statically determinate frames using virtual work method
Deflection of statically indeterminate frames
Raft foundations are designed to carry relatively heavy load transmitted by columns or walls of structures on weak soils. Slab on grade can be described as mass or reinforced concrete slab on a prepared subgrade which carries relatively lighter loads which interact directly with it (for example...
I will like to have this reviewed... A simple manual method for calculating the maximum lateral deflection of Multi-Storey Frames, and a comparison of the result with results from Finite Element analysis (Using Staad Pro)...
