How would you deal with thermal movements in large building structures? Would you reduce the 'design' movement for the moderated temperature of an enclosed building? Would you attempt to calculate the net temperature of the structure considering the daily thermal lag (ie, peak daily...
The lateral force of the soil on the side wall or retaining wall must be resisted by contributions from the slab on grade, sliding of the footing and possibly passive pressure of the soil against the footing. I generally do NOT include passive pressure since the amount of movement required to...
