I know there are means and methods of designing Blast resistant "occupied buildings". However, for process structures which are very rarely occupied but could be housing blast capable equipments, do you ever consider blast loads while designing those structures? These are typically open...
Hello all,
In one of the project specs I am working on, the bottom most floor of the process module is required to be solid to capture potentially contaminated rain-water. The module is huge (150'x300'). I am used to using concrete at the base floor and to be installed on site after the module...
I have about 300 Auger Cast Piles going in a refinery. PIP STS02465 Section 5.2.1 States that --
"Piles shall be tested as specified in ASTM D5882 or by single or cross hole logging as specified in ASTM D6760 or both, as specified in the contract document."
The question is do we have to test...

Hello,
I am structural engineer designing AC Piles for the first time. I have a situation where I am using 2- 18" dia. ACPs (w/ Pile cap) to resist moment and shear in both orthogonal directions. (Pile cap is supporting 45' tall H-Frames for a flare line). I...
