In a plane truss, if the members' Centroidal gravity line are not coinciding in one point at a node, there will be eccentricity of forces and hence moments developed. How to distribute this local moment in the global truss. Can anybody give some suggestion?

We like to assess some existing buildings for the effects of vibrations due to sheet pile driving. Is there any method, to measure the vibration near the building and check the design of the building like that of seismic loading.

We have to excavate about 12m below the ground level.The soil is sand. The water table is about 2m below the ground level. The client had purchased the sheet piles before the design was complete. As there are buildings and roads very close (approximately) 12m from the face of excavation,the...

I am analysing an RCC shear core wall ( Lift shaft)for vertical and lateral loads by STAAD. I like to know how to design the element for axial load, Bending moments, shear force in both directions ?

I have to support a load of 30 tons temporarily. I am using a pipe of 160mm outer diameter.This pipe has to be supported on the ground. The soil is loose sand. If I remove the top layer of soil and replace it with road base material to compact for a depth of atleast 2feet. Then by placing some...

I want to know the use of viscous damper and tuned mass damper. Please expalin the function and the difference in the application of the two.

Is it possible to get PE license for overseas ( asian) structural Engineers ? If so, please tell me the procedure.

I am doing a flat slab design first time. I propose to provide column head and drop in the slab. How to consider the drop in the analysis of frame. The Code says that the slab with an width of half the span on either side can be taken as effective width. But the drop covers only a portion of it...

I have to design a 25 storeyed building. The lateral loads are to be resisted by shear wall system. I would like to know whether we can include the shear wall as finite elements in the 3D global model and design the wall for the finite element analysis output ? Or any other better method is...
