Hello,
I am looking at a ground beam that can be subject to tensile and compressive axial loads (under seismic conditions) but also supporting a block wall.
I need help on how I can combine the effect of the bending moments due to the wall and the seismic axial loads in my design. Please see...
I am at the initial stage of designing a multi-storey car park but have doubts on floor loading. I have been using imposed loading 2,5kN/m2 for vehicles not exceeding 2.500Kg gross mass as provided in BS 6399 Part 1 but some one is advising me to increase the loading by 25% to cater for dynamic...
I am looking at a building 45m above the ground in Kampala,Uganda. Since Ugandan Standards are not yet developed, British standards are used for structural design here but applying BS 6399-2 and using Indian Ocean as the sea level with basic wind speed of 32m/s yields lateral pressures in the...
