I am currently pursuing my Professional Engineer (PE) registration, and as part of the process, I need five references, three of which must be from licensed PE professionals in the USA, as per the licensing board's requirements.
The challenge is that I am not currently working in the USA, I...
Hi there,
I noticed that I'm getting a fixation moment with the wall-to-slab connection, and it seems that no matter how I change the slab stiffness, the moment persists.
I believe that the moment is caused by the slab's fixation to the wall, which restricts the wall's moment at the slab...
Hi, I am trying to design an L-shaped concrete wall as part of the building model in Etab. I have noticed that the wall has M11 and M22 values. However, Etab is not showing me the interaction diagram in the section designer, as it does in other cases. When I used another program like Response, I...
Hi
I got a silo wall building with a flat bottom slab and then 4 openings at the bottom to form 4 walls.
The building is fully symmetric in both axes.
I ran the analysis model in the 2 principle axis. I got a base shear value, then I tried to check the case if I rotated the building 45 degrees...
Hi all,
Plate grab is used in a manufacturing facility for lifting. The supplier document allows lifting a single pane or double pane for the same weight.
I am trying to check if we can lift 2 panes of glass at the same time or not.
My judgment would say lifting 2 panes of glass will require...
Hi,
I am trying to make a simple check for an aluminium channel. It is 40mm width by 30mm deep, 2.5mm thick.
The channel assumed to serve as a glazing channel for glass that is 2 side support. I calculated the load per meter to be a 1.5kN/m acting to the flange tip.
The bending simply should be...
Hi,
I am working on this job. The building consists of 2 units, but they are not on the same level, which makes it tricky.
The basement floor is reinforced concrete first slab is an infill concrete, and the top one is a timber Bondek.
The lateral system is RC masonry wall for basement and then...
Hi
I am suppose to design for wind in Fiji to resist cyclonic wind load.
Any idea about wind pressure or local standards I notice they use the AS standards.
I used the AS 4055 table 3.3 as guidance and it provided a value of 8kPa

Hi
We sell balustrade glass and I saw lot of odd fixing
Try to figure out the best screw in end grain.
I read almost all data I find for this topic in the internet.
There is not enough guidance and the way I see it to do some testing which I am planning to.
What I am looking...
Hi
Looking at table D4 in NZS1170 for freestanding canopies, the table only valid for h/d less or equal to 1.0
I can along a case which h/d is more than 1.0 any idea about what values I can use.
I have a question for you, in concrete and steel for a line load, I assume the loads spread on the concrete to a width of the 2*t slab and then multiply by the load sharing factor and get the deflection
What about glass for a point load if we try to check the deflection in a panel? what is the...

With reference to the previous thread, I know that Charted Australian Engineers can practise in New Zealand and do a PS1 can the same be in Australia?
Dear All,
Does anyone knows a good book or site I can use to help in report writing, I do not mean the technical words but choosing the right expression to sound professional.
Thanks
Hi
I have done a ribraft foundation on groud the soil is a clay soil the ribs are 110mm at 1200mm spacing 300mmm deeo they have 2HD12 at teh bottom and a SE
mesh on top with mm cover to the top and cover to the bottom...
I have a 100mm slab drop for a balcony cant liver concrete slab is ti ok to extend the lower bars of the slab to carry the negative moment of the slab
so the bars will be in positive moment inside the slab then extend to carry the balcony

Hi Just wants to check how you do the as symmetric beam that carry the comflor 215 deck, I have a torsion due to one side loaded at construction stage do I connect the end flanges to the columns ? I would prefer not and I am not sure what is the commen standard...
When building a retaining does any one knows exactly why we need to have about 100 mm of metal below posts
I say it is to protect the pole from direct contact with the soil ? but the pole is already treated so does anyone have idea...
Hi I have a house that have corner foundation settlement it is a timber house with bricks cladding supported om strip footing
I am thinking of adding a pile close to the footing and then connect them to the pile by short cant liver
Hi
I am doing a steel I section section as a pile, will drill a hole and then place it and pour concrete not the driven one.
IS any requaltion for the corossion ?
I can paint it but would prefer not to if not required as it is having a enough concrete cover
I am checking a masonry block supporting soil and lateral load the wall is 2.8-meter-high and span around 4 meter length, it is reinforced by 2HD16@400 centres.
That ratio is exceeding the balanced as I find a =44.7mm while a balanced =41.6 and according to the NZ standards which should be much...
