Hi there,
Does any code specify the maximum concrete cover? It is the concrete embedding a turbine in a hydro-power plant. Due to some construction issues the contractor wants to lower the top rebar mat, which makes the concrete cover 120mm for the top rebar. I don't know if that would cause...
Hi Guys,
I am a civil engineer and I am new to structural design. Right now I have two retaining walls to design(one holding water for a hydro power intake and the other one holding soil). What is the best code that I should be based on for loading combinations?
Thanks,
Alex
Thanks, emmgjld and hokie66. When comes to the calculation of bearing pressure due to the wind load(it is uplifting and overturning moment), how do I include the strength of the passive rock anchor? Is there any reference or standard that I can use?

Hi there,
My current task involves a design of column footing foundation on rock. Due to large uplifting force from wind, the footing size gets quite big to achieve the stability FOS. Therefore I am wondering if it is possible to use passive rock dowel in the calculation for the uplifting...
