Hi All,
I am in need of some help. We have a 30 inch suction line running into a reinforced concrete wall. A puddle flange will be placed in the wall as a connection. Piping stress have provided large torsional and axial loads at this location. I have tried to get them to use bellows and...
Hi,
I am designed a concrete basin for a cooling tower which is 20m x 10m in plan dimension. The base is made up of a 500mm thick slab sat on a number of ground beams on piles. In the design of the base slab I have allowed for early thermal cracking as per BS 8007 and due to the piles have...
Hi,
I am currently designing a concrete basin in staad (Approx 12m x 20m) and 4m in height. There is a very large range of temperature on the site it is to be constructed. I am going to use all the relevant codes and standards in order to take on board thermal cracking and keep crack width to a...
Hi All,
We are currently designing concrete piles in accordance with American Standards ASCE 7-10, ACI 318 and ACI 543. We are considering both inertia loads from our structure and kinematic loads acting on the pile itself under a seismic event.
The structure design is for a Design Event (DE)...
