    Shoring Column for Footer Reinforcement

    Oh absolutely, just trying to get an idea of how to tackle it since the original plan since we bid it has changed quite a bit. Thanks for the help!

    Shoring Column for Footer Reinforcement

    That's what I was thinking rather than trying to support the entire column at the bottom of it all or underpin the footer to support it with helicals. I'm guessing you just go X feet off of the column and catch the beam in the same spot the entire way down?

    Shoring Column for Footer Reinforcement

    Hey everyone, We have a pretty odd situation coming up and wanted to get a few ideas of how to go about it. We're excavating under an existing column and footer to reinforce it so it take the new loads of the renovations. Columns have a 290k DL and 80k LL but we're able to take the LL out and...

    Corner Brace/Diagonal Strut Forces

    Gotcha, I probably have a little bit more forces to add in but as GeoPaveTraffic said below, they're usually pretty under stressed in the first place. That's what I am having a hard time understanding. I get the struts are in compression but at an angle, I can't understand how they wouldn't be...

    Corner Brace/Diagonal Strut Forces

    Hey everyone. I've been working on a few projects recently and we've been wondering about designing corner struts and transferring forces properly. Everything I can find in literature, lectures, and design guides only talks about struts that are only in compressive forces with a wall directly...

    Wedge plate design/failures

    Thanks for the response a bit ago, sorry kinda forgot about this post. Those look pretty strong! We're going to be trying out thicker plates for our next project as for some reason my boss/field guys don't want to chop up the beams (even though we have tons and tons of scrap piling..) If that...

    Wedge plate design/failures

    Hi everyone, Recently we've had quite a few wedge plates failing when testing our tiebacks (both 25/35 deg). It seems like they're failing due to lateral loading, we're thinking either the piles are misaligned or the tiebacks weren't drilled straight back causing some unintended loading. We...

    Waler Connection Design

    That's what we try for as well and avoid moment connections at all costs. Might suggest welding the web of our connections to my superior and see if he doesn't mind the extra safety factor.

    Waler Connection Design

    How do you deal with inaccessible spots like this corner, weld it all before they're connected to the solider piles? Or do your welders just deal with it and have the lagging pulled out for more room? I was told we tried to avoid the welds on the bottom with the amount of slag coming into our...

    Waler Connection Design

    Definitely understand that, cheaper than having something fail. Gotcha, so it looks like I would be using J10-1 to check that. Now if it did exceed that flange bending check, I'm assuming that's where stiffener plates would come into play at the location of the welds? Just checking as well...

    Waler Connection Design

    Hi everyone, I've started this year designing ERS systems and I'm getting a little confused when it comes to the welding and connections of waler beams. Weld checks I'm doing seem deceptively easy and I'm wondering if it really is all that it is, most examples I'm finding for welding are for...
