    Shear in Slab with Concentrated Load

    csd72, "I would spread it out at a 45 degree line each side and check the shear on that width." This is basically what I have done in the past. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a code requirement that backs it up. ATSE, I would not think the entire width of the wall...

    Shear in Slab with Concentrated Load

    I would agree for punching shear. I am checking the beam shear at the support wall. Looking at it like a simply supported beam with a large concentrated load near the face of the support, would you not need to check the beam shear? My question is what to assume for bw in 2XSQRT(f'c)XbwXd??

    Shear in Slab with Concentrated Load

    I have a situation where a two way slab supported by walls along each side is subject to a 16 kip vehicle load. When this load is close to the edge of the slab there is a high shear stress at the face of the support. Does the code address the width of the slab cross section that should be...

    Reinforced Concrete Tank/Wetwell

    Thanks for the link and your comments. By what method do you estimate the shear d off the face of the support? Subtract the soil pressure for a distance d?

    Reinforced Concrete Tank/Wetwell

    I am working on the structural design of a 35 foot deep rectangular pump station wet well. The inside dimensions of the wet well are 19' X 16'. I am analyzing the longer wall as a fixed-hinged-fixed-free plate using PCA - Rectangular Concrete Tanks, Fifth Edition. The equivalent fluid load of...
