    Interior load bearing wall and fire design

    I have load bearing interior CLT walls (or any other structural system, doesn't matter in this case) in multi-residential building. Each apartment is a fire compartment. Each apartment has several rooms as usual. My question is when to consider a wall with fire on both sides at once. For...

    Exploring new business options

    I'm a sole engineer designing mostly timber buildings. My work involves high end homes and small apartment buildings across Europe. I work mostly with timber, but I'm not shy to take on concrete, masonry or steel if a project involves it. I will probably never design skyscrapers or run a big...

    Stability of slender steel beam loaded on bottom flange

    I am curious how would you handle stability issue for this case. I have a 6.4m long beam, height of the beam is 0.45m (IPE450). It is loaded on bottom flange with CLT slabs. In the middle of the span there is quite large point load on top flange from a column above. Beam is simply supported on...

    Designing a project in the State of New York

    I'm from Europe and do mostly timber projects based on Eurocode. One of my clients will have a project in the State of New York. They will design and build pretty simple timber structures. They would like me to do structural design. I'm not sure I should accept the project as I have little...

    Design and drawing practice

    Hello all, I'm self employed structural engineer working mostly on small to medium sized projects. Most of them are residential, office, commercial or public buildings. I've worked with all major materials (concrete, steel, masonry, timber) but let's say my specialty is timber design. It is why...

    Correlation between dynamic modulus of deformation on soil & modulus of subgrade reaction

    I have been looking for some time now if there is some kind of correlation between dynamic modulus of deformation on soil (Evd) & modulus of subgrade reaction (K). I am designing mostly residential buildings up to 3 storeys. Most of the time there is a thick layer of gravel (50-100 cm)...

    Rainwater seepage pit under garage

    A friend of mine needs to build a seepage pit (I hope you understand) beside his house but has limited space. The only way he sees is to build somekind of rainwater tank UNDER the future garage. Garage will be buried in the ground from all sides except the entrance. The tank of course will be...

    Slab on grade directly over grade beams

    I'm designing foundations for an office building. System is steel moment frames in short direction and braces in long direction. Steel columns are rigidly connected to foundation beams with cast in place anchor rods. Plan is to first pour the main foundation system, then compact gravel between...

    Elevated RC slab extension

    I have a case of extending existing elevated one way slab. Don't ask. Old wall will be removed. New wall was built to support the added slab. See attached sketch. Units = meters. There are bars top and bottom at the connection, but let's say there is not enough data to account for them. Maybe...

    Practical structural design course

    Hi all, does anybody know of any good postgraduate courses that are useful in practical design? I would like to continue my education, but I am unable to attend masters in a foreign country because of my work and family. I looked at some online masters in UK but still not sure if it's for me...

    Design process and software

    Hello, I am considering starting my own company and I am very interested in your experience with analysis & design process and which software you use for each stage of documentation. I want to specialise in timber construction as I have most experience with this type of structures plus concrete...

    Glulam bridge lateral torsional buckling analysis

    I have an interesting pedestrian bridge I might design. It is similar structure like this one. It consists of two main glulam beams, connected with steel U-frames at 4 meters. Glulam beams are a bit tilted outwards, making kind of a V-shape (steel frames follow this shape). Main glulam beams...

    Glulam portal frame

    I'm designing a portal frame structure similar to third type on the picture. http://www.swedishwood.com/MediaBinaryLoader.axd?MediaArchive_FileID=3f4a9ee4-1f6e-445f-a421-98eb406e57fa&FileName=structural+design+2.jpg Mine also has a horizontal tension element (a tie) at the level of knee joint...
