Hi there
We have a structure where a composite metal deck is to be used as a diaphragm to accommodate design lateral loads. However, prior to placing concrete, the metal deck alone will be used as the diagphram to accommodate construction lateral loads. Unfortuneately, we can't find any...
Hi there
Are the lateral pressures calculated from the Boussinesq equations (for point and line surcharge loads) applied with active and passive pressure coefficients when designing a retaining wall... or are the numbers obtained from the Boussinesq equations absolute values?
Thanks
