    Hot rolled section development length

    I have a 250PFC hot rolled channel member that is cast into a large reinforced concrete (RC) wall . Thus a fixed member with a point load at the end. Does anyone know how to calculate the development length of the section into the rc wall? thanks in advance ________________________________ Use...

    Slab Design

    I am currently designing a 11 storey residential apartment building. I have a 2 way rc "end span" slab restrained on all 4 edges with 400x 600dp beams. Beams are spaced at grids of 7.8m & 8.1m. Data as follows: LL = 2 kPa SDL = 3.0 kPa (inclusive of 150 series NLB blockwalls) DL = Slab self...

    1800 x 600 wide RC Beam - Deflection

    Iam currently designing a 10 storey reinforced concrete building to be located in a highly active seismic zone with around 0.35g. Today iam looking closely at a RC transverse beam loaded with a structural 200 series blockwall above it at the carpark on the 2nd floor. The client wants to maximise...

    DCP to Allowable Bearing Pressure

    Im new to this forum so excuse my question if someone has asked the same. I understand DCP results undertaken for a simple building structure for example a 3 storey RC building can be deduced to obtain Allowable Bearing Capacity (kPa). Can someone tell me exactly how this can be obtained. What...
