As shown below, Do I need to consider the moment induced by the eccentric loads from RC slab and thus check the pull out capacity of cast-in plate for panel-overhead panel? Or can I assume the load will be central loaded by the use of EA plus ferrules? I have reviewed comps by others but haven't...
Due to the architectural layout, there are many short walls (150mm thick, around 350mm long, precast) on the external, between these short walls are floor-to-ceiling curtain walls/doors so no beams are used, just flat slab on top.
I have run the analysis and the results are fine including...
I have a big opening that I am gonna use steel beam for it. The supports on both end will be 350x350 brick piers. I am going to core-fill it with reinforcement so the 'steel beam - brick pier' can resist lateral load. Now I am wondering what connection is okay for steel beam to brick piers. I am...
I have this steel beam on the edge that has 4.5m long timber truss floor joist running into it on one side @450mm spacing and I am wondering if I can take the joist as lateral restraint?
Instead of simply having a ramp on ground without connecting to walls on both sides, I have seen many engineers do it this way: using dowel bars drill and epoxy into walls and connect to the ramp. May I ask what is the concern? Can't the loading simply be transferred to the soil under the ramp...
One of my client wants panels 'hanging' outside the suspended slab, which I haven't done before. I wonder if I can have something like cast-in plate in panel and weld to cast-in angle with bars in slab? But I am not sure what to look at or if consideration that I will miss when it comes to...
