Check it as plain concrete.

I suppose you could run some transfer beams from the wall or post/footing in the lower area to new piers farther back into the crawlspace - removing and eliminating the need for the existing piers.

I have run into this before but have never had to come up with a fix. I assume flowable fill because access is limited?

Hmm, what is the common denominator in all these situations?

If it is bowing, it is likely not designed or constructed properly Also, it is about impossible to inspect a residential retaining wall. "Well it ain't leaning so I guess it is OK for now" "Well, it's leaning a little bit. Better budget some funds for future repair replacement"

How much actual testing is going to be done before releasing to the end users? Does not sound like a great scenario to me.

Well. look at how many recalls Ford has. Their eco-boost line of engines are garbage. GM's AFM and 6.0L, Chrysler - I means it's Chrysler. Toyota replacing 100,000 Tundra engines, Honda 3.5. Nissan CVT's. Manufacturer's doing dumb shit like wet belts (some located at the back of the erngine) ...

Failing in bending or deflection?

So far so good. These are brilliant cars.

I do the same as Pham as well as running it in my 2-D frame program.

Honestly, I calculate valleys (and hips) as a beam with a triangular loading. The length being the horizontal projection and just use live and dead without changes due to the upward slope.

Around here, most residential involvement is due to shrinkage and swelling of underlying plastic clay soils. The only calculation I usually do is the required helical capacity. I end up putting them 5-6 ft. O.C. on most jobs. I get about $1350 total for the site visit, drawing and a follow-up...

Every manufacturers's reliability is declining. Cars are getting way more complex to meet ever increasing govt. standards and buyer'd wishes for tech and low price. I feel like Ford is the worst right now though.

I usually just cut a slot for a column at the middle of the wall, install the column, cut out the rest of the opening, sandwich the column with channels and then cut the column off.

Well, this recently happened... https://www.wwltv.com/video/news/local/balcony-and-house-collapse-in-the-french-quarter-and-7th-ward-nofd-says/289-00abe792-48e1-4b43-83a7-5909ef836dd6 Sounds like onlookers knew it would collapse but did not warn pedestrians. Honestly, this place is a shit show...

I'm vacationing in NOLA - staying right on Bourbon Street. Went out to dinner and was seated on a 2nd story cantilevered balcony. Anytime someone walked, it shook enough for me to be scared to be on it It appears to be basically supported by 3/8x3" bar stock cantilevered out about 4 ft and...

It is a thin piece of foam between the sill and foundation wall
