I AM HAVING THIS DISCUSSION WITH OTHER ENGINEERS AND I THOUGHT IN ASK HERE TOO. I AM DESIGNING THIS 15ft FREE-STANDING CMU WALL THAT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A SMALL ROOF ON TOP.
IT TURNED OUT A 12” CMU WALL WITH A CONTINUES FOOTING WIDTH OF 5ft. I CHECKED THE SOIL PRESSURE (for e=M/P), IT WAS OK...
I am working on this moment frame that is taking a large axial load and so the moment going to the footing is large. When I try to size the footing (using vertical reactions and moment at footing), it turns to be a large footing, too large. What is the approach for a situation like this?
Is it ...
I am trying to find out stress values (fb, fv) for those layers between top and bot. layers of a GLB. The reason is because I have this situation where the top layer (the strong one) of this cantilever GLB has to be cut (it hits the roof). This cantilever (5ft only) beam suports a point load...
