Dear colleagues
Recently I was encountered with a design of large column section. To make it simple, bars could be grouped in bundles and the code that I'm using is BS, it allows for bundles of 2,3 and max of 4 bars. But it doesn't state that each bundle has to be made of same bar sizes.
So is...
Dear colleagues,
For reinforced concrete column having bi-axial bending moment (both axes) with large cross section, do you have any suggestion for the ties/links configuration?
In BS 8110,3.12.7.2 "Every corner, bar, and each alternate bar (or pair or bundle) in an outer layer of...
Hi
I was looking for a reference to determine the Stress exerted on column face by base plate stiffener, the base plate stiffener that I'm talking about is similar to this:

I have only found an equation in "Design of Monopole bases" page 77...
Hi
I have a cantilever column subject to moment, I am concerned about the bottom part, so I just have a column section of 1 meter long (Total length is 10 m).
Should I define the moment to be applied at the top of the 1 meter section?
Or should I select the whole column surfaces and apply that...
Hello
I'm using BS code that is based on Ultimate limit state design, but I'm not sure about if I have to check the stresses under ultimate loads or service?
I am designing an axially loaded base plate for hollow pipe (CHS)column. It has to resist high compression and tension loads...
Hi,
I have been searching for a while for a good reference guide to design steel baseplate with stiffeners, unfortunately the BS5950 doesn't cover baseplate with stiffeners.
The reference is preferred to be related to British standards.
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have problem with biaxial bending footing having uplift, after excessive search I found a reference that has acceptable details regarding the calculation of bearing pressure. (Reinforced concrete design and analysis - by S. S. Ray)
The problem is that after calculating the bearing pressure...
