I would like to visit a consensus on use of grade beams for High Seismic Regions SDC D generally [not necessarily liquefaction region], to keep intact residential construction. With Faults along many regular boundaries, it seems of consequence not to require foundation elements to be tied when...
Envelope Procedure demonstrates a fault, it demonstrates a longitudindal ridgeline, not a gable end vs. a perpendicular to ridge directivity. L/B ratio is missing from the procedure. Use with grain of rice.

I got off track for the Event of the IRC Implementing C1, D0, D1, D2 as seismic regions.
Yet there is not a clear discussion on how it was formulated, whereas the IBC A through F Categories are clearly stated.
Some direct listings for the reference structure starts with the...
Greetings. Discussion regarding the purpose and derivation of the International Residential Code Tables.
Moreso, a Question regarding request for information.
Please comment on the purpose of the IRC with respect to Tabled detailing:
A] I believe the IRC serves as the minimum standards for...
The Statement in the IBC "Floors shall not extend closer than 1/2 inch to walls. Such 1/2-inch space shall be covered by a molding fastened to the wall and so arranged that it will not obstruct the swelling or shrinkage movement of the floor." makes for an odd corbel type detail, as requiring a...
I think you must agree that some engineers can get locked in "the code habit".
While it's productive sometimes, to program, it's not our job.
And it's actually not solving the puzzle, it's making the puzzle more like concrete.

How many engineers can get out of "the code habit"?
And what...
Anyone investigate long-term durability of Epoxy Anchors? I'm looking for a Spec that meets ACI 355.4. This is a small project, however, it is similar to an inverted pendulum. If there is a wind, it could oscillate. It wouldn't be much compared to a tank inverted pendulum. I think Adhesive...
I'm a bit shredded by modeling, only companies discuss strategy with regards to approaching design and analysis. It's up to the individual engineer to make his plans along his due course of mastering problems one at a time. The reminder of the Rubix cube as a way to solve a structural analysis...
For commentattions on the workings of this and Finite Elements for Structures, as an offshoot of mathematics-language, this neat plate array was setup.
To discerning for developing breadth as a junior finite element analyst.

Anyone get the following error message before?
**ERROR-TOTAL JOINT/ELEMENT LIMITS EXCEEDED WHILE CREATING SURFACE= 369
NUMBER OF MEMBERS+PLATES (PRIOR TO CREATING CURRENT SURFACE)= 36231

anyway to increase the limit...

Previous thread above.
Regarding slab loading, I am thinking that we can increase the density of the plates and surface and element members and using a selfweight command, they will be included in the IBC loads cases.??? Where in the manual does it discuss otherwise?
