We are looking for what the angle of repose should be when considering winter sand (the stuff placed on the road up north here). The material is pretty well graded with most particles less than 12mm.
If possible, a direction on where we might find this information in a text or website would...
Hi everyone,
Looking for a little advice. I am currently a civil/structural engineer with good experience in commercial/industrial design. I am interested in making the jump into a utility and working as a civil engineer. The type of work out there seems to be primarily transmission design...
We are wondering if anyone has any opinions on the best design software for composite slab design. There is one out there by CISC, but i imagine a better version exists based on my experience with other CISC computer programs.
Any input is welcome.

We are currently involved in a project where we need to provide snow and ice guards for a building. It is an arena with a metal roofing over wood construction and because of some unfortunate heat trapping, snow and ice tends to accumulate in unwanted areas. We would like to know who may have...
I am working on a large concrete tank which will located in an area where the groundwater table is likely to be at or near grade a large portion of the time. I am going to install pressure relief valves in the bottom of the tank to ensure it doesn't float when emptied, but i am having a...
We are currently working on a project which will require a mat foundation approx 2m deep x 4m wide x 12m long.
At what point, as a rule of thumb, should we worry about heat of hydration causing unwanted cracking in the foundation (various publications state anything greater than 1m in depth...
We would like to know what is being used as the maximum slope for loading dock ramps. In our case there is no dock leveler (just a set of doors), however, we are in a winter climate.
We are thinking of using a value of 12%, but have not been able to find anything definitive. Any input would...
I am looking for some ideas how to cut down the thickness of concrete walls I am designing for a rectangular concrete tank. The walls are about 5m high and are to be poured integral with the base slab, free at the top. Because of the height, the thickness of the wall to resist shear is quite...
I have a pretty basic question I was hoping I could get some enlightment on. I recently began doing some FEM analysis on Robot ver 16. My current model is the pump house roof of a primary clarifier. The pump room is constructed of two 6 meter high walls with a 10" slab spanning about 4...
