Thanks...ya the flooring is 19 mm ply and I have already determined Young's Modulus of the individual joists.

Hey, Im undertaking some research at the moment which aims to determine how load is spread between timber floor joists. In order to achieve this I have made a floor joist system which consists of five joists. I have loaded the central joist in the system with two point loads at the 1/3 points...

I hav'nt done much work with timber before and I need to deermine the size and amount of screws I need to connect OSB flooring to a sold timber joist. I not quite sure how to go about it. Is it governed by shear forces?how would you consider the connection to be loaded?Please Help......Thanks!

thanks guys!

ok..thanks.i have calculated the moments using the hillerborg strip method and im designing reinforcement at two heights along the wall...im just not sure how to distribute the moments!

im designing a basement wall fixed on all four sides, with the load spanning horizontally.i've been told it is necessary to distribute the moments which i have calculated at the supports. 5m span- moment at support = 266.21 knm, moment at mid span= 133.11knm 7m span- moment at support = 499.9...

Thanks guys!Suppose im going to have to get down to some moment redistribution now too!

Hey, Can anybody tell me if the hillerborg strip method is appropriate for designing a basement wall fixed at the ends and base and free at the top. im assuming that moment is taken by the base from a triangle (inclined at 30 degrees) at the bottom of the wall..Thanks!

i mean fixed to the wall spanning in the other direction.

im designing a reinforced concrete basement. can anyone help me with the moment redistribution? the wall is fixed on all four sides. is redistribution necessary? or can i design the wall another way. i am using the hillerborg strip method at the moment. thanks!
