Thanks again. The quote for a 700 series crane with a 95 ft jib at an offset of 25 degrees yielding a clearance of 40 ft (all deemed required due to the only location suitable) was $220 an hour based on an 8 hour minimum. Assuming three or four individual sessions are required as a minimum, due...
Thanks. A heavy truck crane can be placed diagonally at the open corner of the lot, after removing street name and stop signs. An 18 wheeler's trailer, carrying the panels, can be placed on the lot on the long open side(100 ft)far enough away from the pole line. The problem arises from a city...
Power lines and a tree on the open sides of a 50 by 100 ft corner lot impede the use of a crane to place precast floor and wall panels (similar to Superior Walls) for a three-story house and detached garage. Does anyone have any experience in the specification and setup of a practical cableway...
Thanks wsheppard,
Congratulations on your unique home, and thanks for your observations.
In the intervening time period, by fooling around with the enercalc demo, a T beam (T joist) configuration similar to that which you suggested has shown to be the lightest and thinnest for reasonable...
Thanks Mike,
The slab is actually intended to span the 29.5 ft dimension, probably as a "one way slab" type of design. Since the posting I downloaded a structural demo from Enercalc, which is very easy to use. A fixed-fixed end assumption was used, although I do not know if this is...
For a single span, end supported floor and/or roof of 29.5 by 53.5 feet (inside dimensions) resting on concrete walls (ICF poured), what design will give the thinnest overall depth of slab?
Does the inclusion of PEX tubing, along main reinforcement direction, for hydronic heating require an...
Hi,
Stainless steel rebar is readily available if you are concerned about longevity or if you are in an area of considerable exposure to salt/moisture. A quick look on Google should find you a source. Good luck.
I'm investigating floor/flat-roof options for my own three story ICF walled duplex, in an area with restrictive height zoning of 26.33 feet. Dimensions inside the concrete faces of the 6 or 8 inch walls will be 53.9 by 29.5 feet. At one end wall there will be a stairwell opening of 16.3 feet...
