Is there an industry standard association that provides a format for preparing storm water management reports? I am based in Ontario Canada and a local Director of Engineering makes a big deal about following standard (He talks in generalities). Oh by the way you have a P.Geo (Geographer)...
I have been looking for structural analysis software that interfaces with Revit Structure for over 2 years. My main concern outside of cost which I cannot really avoid is capabilities of the software.
I am looking for software that has the following capabilities in one package (which I think...
We are designing a midrise condo with a 4 pipe fan coil system for heating and cooling the residential suites. We are introducing ventilation (outside air) through 2 corridor makeup air units located on the roof. I have this Senoior Designer that states "To do it properly you need reheat since...
We are designing a 6 storey condo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and we have specified a 130 ton air cooled screw chiller which is an outdoor unit. We asked the manufacturer for recommendations on isolation to avoid noise complaints in the residential units and this is what the said:
"To reduce...
I just received an geotechnical report for an undergound parking garage which has some issues since it is below the water table. The geotechnical engineer states thtat the slab on grade floors should be independent of load bearing walls and columns. This is going to be the case.
However they...
We are designing a one level undergound parking garage under a 6 storey condo. The building footprint is smaller than the parking garage therefore the building loads are transferred by point loads to pad footings.
A major issue for us is the hydrostatic pressues from a high ground water table...
I understand the physics of concrete slab uplift from installing it below the water table. It is the rho g h concept. In the case we are looking at the geotechnical report indicates that the parking garage should be installed at 321.7 metres above sea level. The water table is 0.5 metres...
