Hello, I have a 100m length of reinforced concrete slab and instead of traditionally putting an expansion joint at every 30m, I want to compute the stress in the 100m length caused by the change in length due to the annual temperature change of 10degrees Celsius in my country. I have my change...

hi, I have designed a scissor staircase in reinforced concrete and i need assistance with detailing please. Your valued opinions and experience would be deeply appreciated. Beverly Okai.

Hi, Can someone help me find the eurocode in which i can find the prescribed compressive strengths for loadbearing masonry walls.

Hello, I have designed the reinforced concrete columns in the 10storey building I am designing and I get this message ' fails bresler criterion' when I design the column. Please assist.

I'm grateful for all your responses. It's a 6-storey with 3.3m high walls.

The building is multustorey. My concern is that unlike regular in situ concrete cast with forms around till concrete hardens shotcrete does not have that benefit and therefore the effect of creep is heightened here.

I am reviewing a load-bearing wall system in which shot-crete is being used. Am I being overly critical of I comment that the design engineer has not accounted for creep deformation and shrinkage in the wall? I believe this is key to the strength of the wall. Your thoughts pleas!
