Reaching out to see if anyone has any references to determine the weight of an old 600 HP, 2300V, 151A, 3 Phase Westinghouse synchronous motor. I've contacted various sources at Westinghouse (or their related company today), done a reasonable amount of web searching and have had no luck...
Good day. I'm looking for some help on determining a reference for the historical steel shape 16x12BR110 as noted in the subject line. I've come across it from a circa 1953 steel drawing from Canada and the BR is stumping me. Going to the usual sources (AISC, CISC, Bethelehem Steel) I can't...
Does anyone know of a reference that accounts for radiant heating tubes in unreinforced slab on grade design? I'll have 1/2" diameter tubes with 2" cover, but I haven't yet found good information on accounting for them in the structural design.
I'm trying to get some background information on the tables for two-way slab design (with rigid edge supports) in the Canadian concrete code. I've been searching the usual journal for a direct reference but have come up empty.

I'm working on a project which requires a new grain chute to direct grain from a height of about 65'. The grain comes from a ship-unloader and is dumped through a roof hatch of an existing grain storage building.
My question is, what is a good reference for such a chute design? Any suggestions?

What I'm looking for is a good reference for the angle of repose, angle of internal friction, and the effect of the...

One option I seen used is to tie the pier to...
