I can't seem to find any details or other posts on this but could have missed them. For background: I am working on a concrete anchor design via ACI Chapter 17 in the top of a concrete wall, say 8" or 10", for tension only. This anchor is located at a corner. I am curious if the perpendicular...
Hello All,
I have been reading a lot of great threads on here about how people design (and make assumptions about) basement walls and how to resist loads, especially at the footings. One aspect I have not seen discussed (maybe it exists but I can't find it) and am curious about is how everyone...
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good "fundamentals of ..." book for Post Tension concrete design? I have done a bit of concrete design light commercial structures and am wanting to learn more about post tension design for an upcoming project. I have the Post Tension Design Manual. On...
How do I change loading rate to speed up quasi-static simulation in Abaqus/Explicit?
Big Picture:
I am trying to perform a quasi-static, displacement controlled, 3-point bend simulation on a 2D notched beam. My simulation size is about 7100 variables. Ultimately, I am trying to run this...
