We need a little help. We are looking for standardized testing procedure for testing a fuel pipe under pressurized conditions.
We typically use 3/4" steel pipe for propane fuel hookups to generators. Our inspector is asking us to set up a pressure test, but he is not giving us a...
Thanks for your input. Let me tell you the situation I have encountered and see what you think.
I recently started working with a lightweight concrete building manufacturer who produces in a high volume. As in all designs, they want a cheaper structure which in this business means lighter...
Looking over my question, I can see it wasn't clear. My main concern is the factor applied to the root of the compressive strength in both ACI and PCI when you do not know the splitting tensile strength.
According to ACI 11.2, you should multiply the f'c^1/2 by 0.75 for...
I am looking into using lightweight concrete for some structural beams and slabs. I'm trying to find some references that go above and beyond what the ACI code presents. My main source of concern is embed plates and relating the values given by PCI with the lightweight concrete. I am not...
Thanks for the article. It was just what I needed. I was also able to get hold of a LRFD connections manual which listed A193. For some reason, It was not listed in the ASD manual or maybe I couldn't find it.
Again Thanks
I need a little help. I'm looking at using a threaded rod in pure tension. The application calls for a 7/8" diameter by 10" rod in which A36 material is insufficient. According to the AISC manual, the only materials readily available in round stock are A36, A572, A588(?) and A449 (I...
