    Raft Foundations Design

    Hey guys, so my ex-colleague designed a raft foundation using software (Note that this software unable to convert drop panels to strip), and so it has drop panel for every column (for the purpose of punching shear), and obviously there are different depth for the drop panel that depends on the...

    RAM Concept - Mat Foundations

    Hey guys, can anybody help me check? I'm constantly getting punching shear error at the edge of my raft foundation. I'm very new so I only followed the tutorial from the RAM Concept manual. Please do explain to me, too if you don't mind...

    RAM Concept - Mat Foundations

    Hi, thanks for the reply @structSU10, the strip (drop cap) was intended for punching shear (drop panels), but superior recommended to change it into strips, we then proceed to take the highest depth of the drop panel, and thus taking the deepest drop panel along the x-axis and make it into a...

So...

    External Reaction of Truss

    jayrod12: Thanks for the reply, Jay! Well, uhm yeah I get that it's indeterminate as it has more unknowns than equation. So I was finding for solution on whether if Force-Method is needed to be used. It's a real design (structured designed by STAAD Pro), but just that I had totally forgotten...

    External Reaction of Truss

    Hey guys, I'm new here and sorry for this newbie question, I would to ask how to I obtain the reaction of the pinned connection of A, B, and C (See attachment)? Do I really have to use Force-Method? I actually attempted to use Moment at different places and do simultaneously (Idk if it's the...
