Does anyone have any tips or references for design of a methane collection system below the ground floor of a building (built on organic fill). I know we have install perforated pipes to mechanically vent the sub-floor, but that's about it. Thanks in advance.
Consider a large building separated into different components with expansion joints. The structure is supported on short piles, tied together laterally (situated in a seismic zone).
Should the pilecaps be tied together across (below) the expansion joints, or not?
Thanks for your thoughts...
What is the North American (US +/or Canadian) code of practice for designing water-retaining concrete structures?
I have ACI 350, but it doesn't go into as much detail on crack control and serviceability requirements as I expected. Can someone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks.
