    TS vs W Section -cost-

    2004 Means Building Construction Data shows the tube being 80% the cost of the comparable W section bare costs. TS to W shape # for # is slightly more in bare bone costs. In this case the tube steel is more economical. Worthy considerations above. Thanks!

    Double dipping the safety factor?

    When designing pile foundation for resisting up & down forces due to overturning moment from lateral forces, the code requires a safety factor of 1.5 against overturning (for stability.) If the piles are being tested to 2.0X the design capacity, is applying the 1.5 F.O.S. to the down force side...
