    Do you guys defer steel connections? Should it be on the contact?

    Hey Guys, So I was just wondering do you guys always defer steel beam connections? Even on more simple projects? Also, do you think this should have been specified on the proposal or is it standard practice? Thank you!

    Is adding a bond beam into an existing CMU wall fesible?

    Hey Guys, So I know adding vertical reinforcement and grout into an existing CMU wall is doable, but how about a bond beam with horizontal reinforcement? Is this doable? Seems like it would be difficult. thank you!

    Welded together baseplate

    Hey Guys, Is there any issue with allowing a baseplate to be made of 2 plates of equal material/thickness welded together? It seems OK to me but was hoping to get a sanity check. Thank you!

    Triangular CMU

    Hey Guys, If you were making a triangular CMU wall, would the bond beam still be at the top? How do they accomplish this with the cutting and sloping of the bond beam? Thank you!

    Sistering steel channels to wood beam

    Hey Guys, I am working on a project where I'm considering sistering an existing wood beam with steel channels to help with DEFLECTION. It seems this is a common solution but I have a couple of concerns: 1. With critical slip(especially if using bolts), don't I need to basically just consider...

    Do you call out truss connections?

    Hey Guys, Do you call out truss connections? For example a regular truss to a girder truss, do you call out the hangar? What about girder truss to girder truss? etc. Or do you defer these to the truss manufacturer? Thank you!

    If I have a CMU column experiencing a small amount of wind overturning, does the footing need top reinforcement?

    Basically the title but do I need top reinforcement in this scenario in the footing? I thought it creates tension in the top of the footing but another engineer is telling me I don't need it so I'm just trying to undestand thank you!

    HSS with CMU facade

    Hey Guys, I'm doing a cantilevered steel column with a CMU partial height facade. I've reinforced the CMU vertically and with ties, but there's basically no gap between the HSS and CMU. Would you guys worry about the deflection affecting the CMU facade? It's only deflection from wind. I'm...

    How does this detail look for concrete beam to pier?

    Hey Guys, I have a detail for a concrete beam to pier connection. Could you guys please take a quick look and let me know if you're seeing any problems with this? Haven't done a ton of concrete beams before this. Notably for the clear distances, this beam is underground. Thank you!

    Open Web Steel Joist Girders for Mechanical Units

    Hey Guys, Designing a job with open web steel joists for the first time(as you may have seen from a previous post) and was wondering how you handle a couple things on mechanical unit support. Do you call out the joists supporting these as girders no matter what the weight of the mechanical unit...

    What metal deck connections do you use for K joist?

    Hey Guys, What typical metal deck connections do you use for K-joist? I haven't worked with these before. also bonus question if you're feeling generous: How do you detail mechanical openings? Angles to girder joists? How do you fasten them? Thank you!

    For shearwalls on the end of pitched roofs below gable end trusses , do you consider the height the full pitch?

    Hey Guys, so basically my question is the above. Do you consider the height of the shearwall the full height of the pitch? Or just up to the gable end? Can be difficult to get the aspect ratio to work if you go up to the full pitch.

    Wood Corner Beam Connection

    Hey Guys, I have a wood corner beam coming into a column with a beam ea. side. I'm thinking of doing something like this with a "U" plate saddle welded to angles acting as top flange hangers. Is this weld doable? Is there much strength in it? Do you see a better option for the connection? I'm...

    Embedded Pole Footing Lateral Loads

    Hey Guys, In IBC equation 1807.3.2.1 is the lateral force factored? Or is it nominal? I've been treating it as nominal but would like to confirm. Thank you!

    Is a concrete double tee just two single tee's combined?

    I know it sounds funny but can I just analyze a precast double tee system as a single tee x2? The reason I'm asking is Enercalc only has the capability to analyize a single tee section and I just want to make sure there's not something I'm missing. Thank you!

    How do you know if your column base connection is a moment connection?

    Hey guys, How do you confirm your column base connection is a moment connection? With the anchors obviously it's just ensuring they can handle the loads but for your baseplate how do you know if it's enough thickness to be considered fixed? Thank you!

    Wood I-joists repair

    Hey Guys, I am trying to detail a repair for wood I-joists where the top chord is partially notched. IS there a common fix for this? I'm thinking of sistering 2x's to develop the compression load through and then back into the member but would like to hear what other people have done. Thank you!
