Does anyone have proper advice as to the extent pours can be placed without control joints in this type of construction. My problem relates to a 30m x 90m upper floor where the deck acts compositely with the support steel.
Surface is to be power floated to a good standard so cracking - thru...
Help! can anyone clarify the correct effective length to be adopted for compression in the design of a traditional rafter with tiling battens ( house roof say)?
Full lateral restraint can be used for bending but Ley=0.75L or 0.01bL yields incompatible results with published tables.
For example a...
Can anyone advise what is the correct method of dealing with the concentrated load of 0.9 kN on a timber common rafter as, by calculation this always produces the worst load case for single span rafters up to around 5.0m. Should it be shared over more than one member or have I read that the...
I am trying to research wind effects that occur behind a building on the leeward side. For tall, long structures there will be vortices set up which will create problems for traffic and pedestrians for a certain distance behind the building in storm conditions.
Does anyone have experience...
When loads onto pads give a resultant with an eccentricity outside the kern i am only able to locate formulae that assume single axis bending to determine the base pressure distribution.
There are published charts (Teng etc) that list factors for other cases however i would like to know the...
