This rolled steel beams can be strengthened with partial-length, adhesive-bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. This is the easiest solution to the problem, with no distrubance at all.
ST04 --- i uploaded a greating training module to clarify everything related to shear, i hope this is helpfull.

recently a company setup a complete factory for manufacturing these 3D panels here in dubai (another manufacturer http://tridipanel.org/) , and now they want me to become their regular structural designer for the projects undertaken. As they would go on doing turnkey Design + construction...

can you tell a bit more about your buildng ! is it single story, whats the span and bay spacing. whats the eave height and ridge height. I am just a litle curious that what size of building brings 650 K-ft momment to foundations
if the compressive strength of a concrete block after 5-days is "452psi" what may be the approximate value after 28-days.
And what is a good strength value of hollow concrete block and solid concrete block, at 28days compressive test.
how about i used a Wide flange section ! and anchor it using expansion or epoxy anchor bolts to the concrete structure and brace the bay like i would brace a steel structure ? that would act as strut and tie bracing ! right ?
after reading this article " design of precast concrete skeletal...

this building was build in Islamabad, Pakistan a city which had never seen much seismic activity until october 08th 2005 an earhtquake shook this city and killed 88,000 people in this region; it was a huge disaster. and after this earthquake my consultancy firm based in dubai did a...
A two story building existing on ground for more than 11 years was working fine until seismic activity produced some serious cracks in columns. When this buiding was analyzed for gravity loads it was just fine, but in case of Seismic load (zone 3) the columns were failing in shear. So we decided...
MCE stands for "Master of Civil engineering"; intregued by the advertizment in the magazine "Civil Engineering" which all the A.S.C.E. members recieve i am considering taking this Distance learning program at Norwich University, I too had only heard of M.Sce ( master of science, civil...
I am wondering what is the main difference between a "MCE ( master of civil engineering ) with specialization in Structrual engineering" and MS Master of science in structural engineering, and M.E. Master of Engineering (civil engineering with specialization in structural engineering.

have you tried installing it on another computer ? if the problem still persist, then you should contact help center. our company buyed STAAD 2005, and we had the same problem, on WIndow XP, the technical support told us to install SP1(service packs), and SP2. this helped and "STAAD HELP"...
-BigH what i meant by saying " i dont think you can use the slab for your vertical loads" was that a regular depth of the slab on grade being used through out cannot be used, as i proceeded with my post i also mentioned that "for vertical loads you need to increase the size of the slab below the...
i dont think you can use the slab for your vertical loads, for vertical loads you need to increase the size of the slab below the columns, and design this specific portion just like you would design a regular Pad, u can use the slab on grade for horizonzontal thrust. But be carefull that in case...
