    Pilecap design, using ratio of length method

    Hi everyone, When we are calculating the pile reaction based on position of pile in respect to column and pilecap CG, we often use this formulae, Ned/n +- M*x/∑x^2 +- M*y/∑y^2 However, one issue with this formulae is the assumption is a rigid cap, and the further away the pile it is, it will...

    High rise building Analysis and Design

    Hi everyone, I am interested to know how does you all as engineer analysis and design a high rise. Lets just say, a 40 storey high building, each with 3m floor to floor. Floor footprint 20 x 80m In my region, a high rise is analysis in one model with all beam connection is assumed fixed, and...

    Earthquake engineering to Eurocode 8 - No seismic member aside from wall

    Hi all, I have a project where part of the structural requirement is capable to withstand the earthquake based on EN1998 I have some question about it. A) Regularity of plan/elevation The building has 3 floor, L1, L2 and Roof All are identically in term of layout and size(about 140m x 62m) ...

    Earthquake resistance to Eurocode 8

    Hi Enginners, I have a project where the clients has specific several engineering parameter for us beforehand. The parameter is listed as below:- - Design Code - Eurocode 8 (Fine) - PGA = 0.05g (Lesser than National Annex) - Return period = 2,475 years (Why?) My question is, Eurocode is based...

    Pilecap design using strut and tie method

    Good Morning, I am doing a pilecap design and I trying to understand the concept as I am developing a generic spreadsheet to design a pilecap. If we are using the old BS8110, clause 3.11.4.1 where it allows the pilcap to be designed using bending theory or truss theory. Same goes to Eurocode 2...

    Comparison of EC2 and BS8110

    Hi everyone, I was assigned as designer engineer for a new project recently and this is my first time to lead on a project. While the analysis of building frame is not a trouble for me, I have several questions on the detailing part. As for the background, in my region most of the structural...
