The Program will be used in the State of Florida.
I have designed square tubings (4"x4"x1/4") supported by square foundation (4'x4'x20") for a retail store adjacennt to other stores. The Owners of the adjacent stores have refused to accomodate in the construction of the square foundation in which haLf the foundation is...
I am starting another thread hopping I will get some responses this time.
I have been searching for a good approach on the design of post embedment in concrete slab that varies in thickness from 4" to 7". ACI 6.3 discuss this subject but it does not in any way describe a method of...
I am looking for a good reference or a tip to design the embedment of aluminum or steel guardrail's posts in concrete slab. The post as per local codes is subject to a lateral load of 200lb or it could be much higher if the post is a member of an exterior glaized railing where the system is...

I have seen the following formula for designing post embedment in concrete:
a = (2M^2 + 3LM)/3M + 6L
Do you know where I can find this formula?
Other engineers have used it to calculate embedment of guardrail's posts in concrete.
I am using Shape Builder to calculate section properties of complex shapes. However shape builder is limited to predrawn shapes and the program does not allow you to draw your own shapes. does anybody know of a more flexible program.
Thanks.
I am designing a wooded balcony. The balcony is 5' x 12'. 2"x6" wood joists spanining 5' and spaced at 12" o.c.
I have not done any design calculations yet. However, I see a problem trying to meet my local code. My local Code (South Florida Building Code) States the following...
There was a great confusion in ASCE 88 about what is called a tributary area when calculating pressure coefficients. That was wrong they should have never called it tributary area because we all know what is a tributary area. however, ASCE 98 is very clear now in calling it effective wind...
Thanks for Oshake, breaks, Dik, Polecat, and Ron for your support on my previous questions. I just completed a 2 days seminar about Wind Loads for Buildings and other Structures. Now I am very careful designing for wind loads and uplift. The seminar was great and every structural engineer...
I would like to know of any good method to design a light pole 14' heigh over ground surface, 17" bottom diameter, and subject to a wind force of 392lb located at 11' over the ground surface. Do you know of any text book that contains good design examples of similar topics. Uplift design...
