    Gyp Board Shear Walls for Multi Story Apartment Building

    I'm designing a 4 story apartment complex (wood framed). It is quite long and narrow. The layout is townhouse style so there are full width party walls that can provide a lot of shear capacity.

    Tie Slab to Grade Beam?

    In the attached typical detail, is the #3 tie bar necessary? IMO we don't need it for the following reasons: 1.

    Question about building classification for seismic

    Hey everyone, I am designing a concrete moment frame with a steel braced frame on top that holds bulk material (ore). How should I classify this building? Currently I'm analyzing it by taking the total horizontal load from the ore and adding that to the seismic loads of the steel braced frame...

    Concrete foundation treated like a base plate and eccentricity question

    Hello, I am currently designing a concrete foundation that fits into an area of 6m wide x 7m deep x 1.2m thick. It will be holding a large belt winder that will create lots of shear and torque on the foundation. The moment and shear are so large that i need to anchor the foundation into the...
