New to the forum here and wanted to pass along some problems I had with the performance of adhesive anchors installed underwater.
I recently was involved in a project where we mounted a steel structure to the vertical face of a dam underwater in approx. 40F temp water. The structure was...
Is there a basis for looking at the net area due to bolt holes in a compression member? To compound matters, these are slip-critical bolts. The holes would be located a significant distance from the ends of the compression member.
Intuitively I would assume that any localized stress increase...
I have run into a situation on a cantilevered slab that monolithically ties into a RC beam. The proposed loading will result in an applied torsion that exceeds the torsion capacity of the RC beam. The RC beam does not have the tied (torsion resisting) stirrups, so I analyzed the capacity of...
