    Pile Springs for Micropiles

    Good Day! I am currently designing a 3 storey building that is to be supported by micropiles. For the preliminary design of the piles, I am looking for recommendations on how to estimate equivalent vertical pile springs to model the supports. For end bearing piles, I estimate the spring using...

    Columns of SMRF supported by beams in one orthogonal direction only

    Hi, I am designing a three story building. with the ground floor as a parking area, second floor as an office, and third floor as a gymnasium/court. The building will be designed as a Special moment concrete frame. The columns up to the third floor frame will have beams in both orthogonal...

    Orthogonal Loading based from ASCE 7-10

    @slickdeals: Does this also include any column designed as a Moment Frame in two directions or is it exclusive to corner columns?

    Orthogonal Loading based from ASCE 7-10

    Hi! The following is taken from ASCE 7-10 chapter 12 Sec. 12.5.4 Seismic Design Categories D through F Structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D, E, or F shall, as a minimum, conform to the requirements of Section 12.5.3. In addition, any column or wall that forms part of two or more...

    Lateral force distribution of Storey Shear derived from ELF method

    I was planning to use spreadsheets for manual computations. Considering that the building is L-shaped causing re-entrant corner horizontal irregularity and will most likely develop Torsional irregularity (possibly extreme torsional irregularity due to length and width ratio being @ 0.25), how...

    Lateral force distribution of Storey Shear derived from ELF method

    Hi! I am a new to structural engineering and currently trying design to a four story RC building (Special moment resisting frame) following the provisions from ASCE 7-10 ch 12 for seismic design requirements using Equivalent Lateral Force method in determining the seismic loads. However, the...
