Hey all,
Looking at some old structural drawings and noticed a steel deck called out as what the pic shows.
I'm assuming the 18 signifies the gauge of the deck and the depth of the deck being 2" but I'd like to see if other engineers have come across this specific designation.
Thanks!
Hey all,
I got a project where owner wants to incorporate sliding doors with a pocket wall. I'm having some doubts in assessing the existing foundation in Enercalc wherein:
1) For assessing existing strip foundations, would the axial loads from the trimmers/jacks to represent a localized point...
Hello,
These are the only pics I've received from a client who is looking to build an industrial stair similar to this. Judging by the poor quality pic of the ship ladder consisting of C-channels for stringers - how are these normally connected at the landing? It appears to be "floating" and I...
Hello all,
How would you all approach this problem in terms of assessing whether this connection can support factored girder load of a 145 kips? See sketch and my understanding of the load path. If there is also a textbook reference or similar calculation done, that would be even more helpful...
Hello All,
I've been tasked by my supervisor to come up with a preliminary framing plan for a 55 foot tall, 3-story building that will be used as a finance center. The preference of the building is to be entirely cast in place concrete and we are in a high seismic zone. I am in a stump trying...
Hello all,
The architects want to achieve this canopy look as you see below as well as a section cut and I am trying to come up with a way to frame this out. I have also attached my extruded ETABS model for more clarity of my intent. Essentially, I was looking to tie the cantilevered frames...
Hello all,
I am using ETABS concrete frame design to give me the moments and shear values needed to design my beam. In this case, there is a wall on top of the beam and I have compared the moments for the following:
Case 1: No modifiers
Pos moment ~ 20.2 k-ft
Neg moment ~ -35.4 k-ft
Case...

Hello,
Is there a way to analyze singly-reinforced walls in ETABS? The uniform reinforcing option shows two layers of reinforcement and the only thing that I could come up with is to do a section designer for each pier to achieve a one layer of reinforcement. As you can tell this is a very...
Hello guys,
My coworker and I had a discussion about alternative methods of extracting loads for our foundation design. My approach was to mesh my model at 1 ft and go through each elevation checking for a max value for each respective load cases. My coworker's approach was to mesh his walls...
