    To find Dr. Nash's course just search with Google for '16426'. I came across part of the course under some heading or other, saw the number, then searched under that & Hey Presto!

    BS5500 is better than ASME 8 for shells under external pressure. There is also an a U. of Strathclyde course on 'Pressurised Systems' by Dr. Nash called 16426/16587 which is explanatory to BS5500, this can be found on the web. If you search under 'submarine design' you will also find useful info.

You should cut back all projecting pile reinforcement, perhaps place some load dispersing sheet material between the pile and the slab. Design the slab for high shear around the pile heads and...

    Gaskets for A-60 fire rated doors

    Why don't you try the original door manufacturers? It is most likely that you will invalidate any guarantee if you use other than the manufacturers' recommendation. The manufacturer may also need to install the new seals to maintain any guarantee. If the doors are the subject of any...
