    Tilt up wall - Architectural wall section - house

    Thanks all for the replies. I will clarify a few points. The house is for myself, so I'm not concerned with the typical building economy. I am trying to build it, in an efficient manner (for my situation). Where I live, bricklayers are quite expensive, so if I go to a thin brick façade on...

    Ram Elements vs STAAD PRO - Should I battle to get other another brand of Software

    That's what I arrived at. I'm still bewildered why thy perserve with it as the primary application. I'd be trying to move users to a better interface / work flow (Ram Elements etc.). The horrendous learning curve of Staad is not compatible, when you may only have a grad for a year or two...

    Tilt up wall - Architectural wall section - house

    Hi All, Is there any resources on typical architectural wall sections for tilt up's? I'm building a house, and am concerned about moisture getting trapped between the panel and the drywall. This may be more an architectural question, but interested to see typical details, and how to fit them...

    Ram Elements vs STAAD PRO - Should I battle to get other another brand of Software

    Hi All, Firstly, id like to say I'm sort of stuck with Bentley systems. Unless I put a lot of effort in to convince others, and will likely take a long time. Secondly, I have used STAAD a little, but cannot get over the horrendous user interface / work routine. I remember the first time I used...

    Deadman Anchor Design - With Uplift

    For the vertical component, what weight of soil do you consider? The buoyant weight assuming it is submerged? and/or the immediate projection of the plan area? Do you increase this assuming an angle of 20? degrees (or whatever) from the vertical? Buoyant weight. Typically used in flat open...

    Deadman Anchor Design - With Uplift

    Hi, I'm trying to design Deadman guy anchors, with significant uplift, and horizontal force. A typical arrangement for a guyed dead anchor is to bury a concrete block at depth, then protrude an anchor rod to the ground line (this obviously causes a lot of ground disturbance, I'm not a fan)...

    Field welding a bolted splice connection

    Why don't you just bore new holes? You could fit them up and then mag drill through the lot. You can plug up the existing holes with bit of round bar (and then weld in place). I would neglect the capacity of the holes (edge distance, plate bending, etc). Another alternative is to cut the...

    Grout filled steel hollow section

    azcats Your pole will likely be a lot thicker. This pole is probably about 5mm (not entirely sure), where as your pole is approx 10mm. Footing type is direct buried. Encased in plain concrete for durability reasons. KootK - 2) Buckling outwards is likely much less of an issue than is...

    Grout filled steel hollow section

    GeorgeTheCivilEngineer the vehicle hit just above the ground line, the damage continues below the ground line. This would need to be exposed, which would reduce the footing capcity, which would then require propping, which will be difficult, given the site. Otherwise, it would work. Yeah...

    Grout filled steel hollow section

    Hi all, Was wondering if there was any resources on grout filled hollow section? I have a high consequance of failure, steel power pole that was impacted by a vehicle causing a visible deformation. A buckling analysis indicates a capcity reduction of at least 25%. The reduction in capcity...

    Precast wall connection in bending

    Bit of an old thread but i'll add my 2 cents. "AS5100.5 (the code I need to use) states that walls >150 mm thick need to have 2 layers of reinforcement (one at each face). In my case, this would be satisfied within the precast wall itself, but not in the plane of the connection. Is this...

    Tilt Up Wall Design - Simultaneous in plane and out of plane loads on walls

    Hi All, Designing a Small, single story Tilt up building of mostly solid panels. The walls will be subject to both in plane and out of plane loads. All design examples i could find seem to ignore this combined load case, they mostly design panels on out of plane loads and axial loads (ACI...
