I am working on a small project in which i have to put a block wall on top of an existing footing 4' deep.
The lead engineer in my firm recommended doweling in #5 8 in every 16" along the block wall.
My question is: Is there really a need for this? i was thinking doweling in every 4' (for every...
Hello,
I am interested in finding literature or a simple way to use distribution factors or continuity effects to distribute torsion in beams along a beam line on a parking garage.

I have been analyzing the effects of shoring specifically in prestress members. Some systems call for crown, an additional push of the member upwards are erection. This is usually accomplished by pushing the piece at the middle of the span with a post shore up to the specified crown.I am...
Hi I have come across different design software and most of them use PCI design method to estimate losses which is essentially picking a critical section point and estimating the losses there (critical points could be .5L,.4L or the transfer length 50db) But recently I came across a software...
Hello, I am a recent graduate specializing in structural engineering. I didn't take a prestress course while in school but I have learned lots about the subject, I learned soo much that I actually created my own prestress design software. But something always bother me, When applying prestress...
