I have a question regarding the “R” value for cantilever column systems in ASCE7-05 (well, several, actually). Section G of the table gives values for seven different types of systems.
The way it is phrased is this: “Cantilevered column systems detailed to conform to the requirements for:”...
Hello, all.
I am looking for recommendations for a good book covering retaining wall structures. Anyone have any recommendations?
I would like a book that has an emphasis on actual problems and solutions; not a theory driven book. Ideally, I want it to cover both concrete and CMU type walls...
I've been wrestling with a problem lately; hopefully somebody can help me out.
The soils engineer will often give a differential settlement deflection value with an associated span. Usually 1/2" in 40 feet or something similar.
How do you design a grade beam section given this data? (assume...
Here is a dumb question:
Item number 8 (Simple Beam - Concentrated Load at any Point) of the
ASD American Steel Association handbook (the "Green" one) gives a
formula for deflection at x (when x < a). What about if x is > a? How
does the formula change? I would appreciate a smart...
