    punching capacity of unreinforced slab

    does anyone know how to prove punching of a column on a unreinforced or 'lightly' RC slab. ground supported?

    baseplate/column in uplift

    how do you confirm capacity of simple column baseplate in uplift conditions. Uplift dived by 4 bolts (plus any prying force). Baseplate? thanks.

    water retaining structures

    what temperature of liquid is considered to be ok for standard designs. I am looking at BS8007 which states a temperature of approx 35 degree celcius. The equivilent Eurocode which we are now swithching to has a range of -20 to 200 degrees celcius. Why the massive disparity? 8007 is a dated (now...

    technical skills or learn to BS

    in your experience what gets you places (i.e. promotion/money). Learning technical skills or being a BSer and being confident in what your saying even if it is total rubbish. I think I waste my time learning technical skills when the money goes to the BSers of this world. This is not meant to...

    To put photos/images in CV

    would it be acceptable to include pictures or 3-D images etc from projects in my CV in order to give a clear indiction of the project I have worked on and help differentiate myself from other CV's?

    Steel frame building precast planks

    In design of the internal steel beams do you consider the condition at ULS of bending and torsion induced by the bay on one side of the beam being loaded and the other bay not (no live load)?

    Revit BIM

    Our company is heading very seriously into the BIM world. Using Revit. A trial has the quantities fairly accurate on one building. In theory we are going into it as cutting down on estimating time and costs as well as other benefits. Any comments?

    Slow times - how long do you have

    Hi some insight from people who have been through this downturn before. Our work has dried up somewhat, although it is expected that we will have work coming in by march/april although this is not confirmed yet obviously. One of our 'framework' work will start coming in but how much and when is...

    Underwater inspections

    what would you say is the recomended frequency for an underwater inspection of a harbour structure. The structure has cathodic protection. (steel tube piers).

    raking piles

    Hi, I have a situation where I have an existing structure which we have load tests for the vertical piles but not the raking piles. I estimate the raking piles are about 20-30 degrees off vertical. Should I discount the raking piles in terms of assessing the vertical load reactions? Take a...

    CV advice

    on a CV would you list actual projects worked on, value, what you did etc or just give general overview of duties at an employer. Worst case I am thinking of is someone from another organisation that the agency sends CV out to will recognise the projects and this person will know someone at the...

    Best way to examine cracks in soffit

    I have a suspended slab with cracks running through the slab in one direction. (two way slab). How is the best way to ensure cracks are not structurally significant. We will be strengthening the structure as the load is to increase. However what concerns me is the effect of the cracks especially...

    am I being shafted?

    this is probably not a new complaint but I have become aware of some information. My experience is approx 9 years after graduation. I am a chartered engineer (UK) which I got middle of last year. Some of that time, approx 2 and a half years was spent on site. The rest is in a design office. I...

    effect of cracking in tension region

    Hi, how would you approach the analysis of a slab where a crack exists through the centre of the span in one direction. The crack I would say is over 0.3mm although it is hard to say at the moment. How does this effect the analyis? If the depth is not as far as the reinforcement?

    capacity check - shear links

    Forgive me here but this is relevent to a British standard clause and I realise most here are US. BS8110 (Concrete) states that all tension bars in a beam must be within 150mm of a vertical leg. It also gives other min dims. I don't know if you have similar clauses in US. My question is this...

    existing structure overload!

    A bit of possibly a hypothetical question here. We have been doing more and more assessments of existing structures for not what I would say is change of use exactly but increased loading. New loading pattern etc. A couple have been very close to overload. Some of the new loading conditions have...

    assessment of existing stuctures - code variance

    if your assesing an old structure for a given loading (which may or not be higher than original, you don't know) do you assess to the current code, or the code at time of design or a hydbrid method. Particuraly when the code approach is different i.e. designed to permissible stress but current...

    composite action between precast and cast in situ slabs

    I have a project with a precast slab placed and a concrete topping cast above. The precast acts as permanent formwork and also acts compositly with the topping slab (RC in both). The bottom precast element has a lattice of steel bars sticking out which bonds the topping slab to it. My question...
