    foundation spreading restraint

    I would like to visit a consensus on use of grade beams for High Seismic Regions SDC D generally [not necessarily liquefaction region], to keep intact residential construction. With Faults along many regular boundaries, it seems of consequence not to require foundation elements to be tied when...

    Envelope Procedure image is misleading

    Envelope Procedure demonstrates a fault, it demonstrates a longitudindal ridgeline, not a gable end vs. a perpendicular to ridge directivity. L/B ratio is missing from the procedure. Use with grain of rice.

    Pursuit of Excellent Details

    I agree. It's kind of a fickle. I've worked with just a couple types of setups in Building Infrastructure - This is one: Typically, the Model Space will be sectioned. As such, there is a Model Space Portal for every viewport. So, if you are close to the object, the viewport will show the...

    Pursuit of Excellent Details

    CALTRANS has good standards for Civil. Their Example of line-color is simple and straightforward. A few thoughts : A. A is how the person starts detailing as an engineer first, not a CAD man first, is probably first the Layer for every different type of piece. B. The Details like CALTRANS...

    Looking for the Start of C1, D0, D1, D2 in IRC

    Looking for the Start of C1, D0, D1, D2 in IRC

    thread507-428039 I got off track for the Event of the IRC Implementing C1, D0, D1, D2 as seismic regions. Yet there is not a clear discussion on how it was formulated, whereas the IBC A through F Categories are clearly stated. Some direct listings for the reference structure starts with the...

    Wood Floor Truss Plates - Failing

    PS. Maybe they just forgot to nail one or two of them. Sh&# happens.

    Wood Floor Truss Plates - Failing

    I believe the plates are never tensión elements. So they should probably all be replaced with bolted members or steel plates. The plates are neither continuity plates. The plates are assembly plates, and they also should be nailed. You would probably find that the strut and chord members...

    Timber In International Residential Code

    I’m pondering the IRC from the Wall Bracing Webinar because the portrayal of the Tables R602.10 provide in-depth narrowing down of the designing of timber works. Particularly when approaching a set of plans in the first Design steps the table surely is enacting a complete design scenario...

    Type of Construction IBC 602.4.6.1

    "The section you are referencing is for the floor finish material not the structure." Aha, you're right, it's not talking about beams, only floor material. Thanks ! Excellent! Spot On.[afro2]

    ACI 318 Punching Shear - Reinforcement Contribution (Vs)

    If to recall it, Section 11.11 has several types of punching shear reinforcement, depicted in Figures. Thus, the first stirrup can be no further than d/2 from the first punching zone. The next punching zone starts at the next stirrup, and then s = d, unless s< d is provided. Thus, verifying...

    Type of Construction IBC 602.4.6.1

    exactly.. what is the point of the beam not anchoring into the floor level ? being it could be 20' beam, then the connection should be more compact. The 1/2 inch gap would be for expansion. I can't be satisfied with any detail not engaged with the wall for seismic stability of the chord and...

    Type of Construction IBC 602.4.6.1

    The Statement in the IBC "Floors shall not extend closer than 1/2 inch to walls. Such 1/2-inch space shall be covered by a molding fastened to the wall and so arranged that it will not obstruct the swelling or shrinkage movement of the floor." makes for an odd corbel type detail, as requiring a...

    Poll:Get out of the Code Habit

    Basically, in design, the mindset gets locked on the Code, and it's like a snake eating a rat. But we'd much rather get to see the Alligator consuming a man. Is it worse in ACI than in other codes? I think it is. Perpetrating Calcs according to the code, rather than grasping the fundamentals...
