Hello!
How do I get correct axial loads for RC column design from a flat slab (irregular column layout) FEA model? I've come to a conclusion that for the design of the slab itself, in ULS (Ultimate Limit State - EC), it's acceptable to get slab internal forces using uncracked slab stiffness...
Let's say we are installing HC slabs to be supported by prestressed concrete beams. Let's also assume that supporting beams have camber (upward curvature) due to prestress even after they are in place. How to install slabs on surface (beams) that is not level? Is it resolved by shims, varying...
Hello!
What are the main design stages used in your country for structural engineering? For example in the UK, according to RIBA Plan of Work, there are 3 main design stages:
* Concept Design
* Developed Design
* Technical Design
Which standard or a guide is used to determine how much...
