I have searched thread titles and do not seem to find an answer to what I think is a simple question. I have specified a 1.5" composite metal deck for a floor assembly and the deck supplier came back with questions such as support pattern for 5/8" welds, spacing at perimeter supports and...
In order to get my Master of Civil Engineering I had to make "satisfactory" (whatever that means) on the PE test. After 4 years of experience, I was able to get my license. Getting reciprocity was a little difficult back in the day (early 90's) because I was a early taker (it was required)...
I stand corrected on the "I don't believe floor will generate....." I have never used Floor to generate lateral loading, I generate lateral and wind loads after I direct to 3D from Floor. I have only used rigid diaphragms. In newer versions of Revit, an analytical model is no longer...
I don't believe Floor will generate any lateral (seismic, wind) loading, only vertical. I normally start with a Revit model, transfer to Floor (which in the latest versions of Revit have been a pain),clean it up, input the floor loading, then "direct" to 3D to generate seismic.
Hi all,
I am tasked with shoring an existing clay brick wall. The situation I have is the brick wall is not parallel to the column grid line. This forces me to "shim" the horizontal W8 near the top back to the columns. What I have presently shown is L6x6 at the tips of the inner column...
I agree with KootK 4 points and jayrod12's speculation concerning the change in bearing location. The knot doesn't help, either. I assume there are other trusses. Are they behaving the same way?
As a follow up, I got with our County Floodplain Administrator, as he said that the county adopted a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance which requires the establishment of BFE for elevation certificate purposes along with the floor to be 2' above. Flood venting is required for elevated SOG.
TerryScan, not sure about any regulations (have not asked, going for site visit Monday and will see) regarding building in a flood zone in this area. The county in which this is located has adopted flood zone regulations and I am fairly certain (but will find out)they would pertain to this...
Thanks for the reply, phamENG, I concur with your assessment. BTW, the shaded area in the attachment in the OP is in Flood Zone A, Special Flood Hazard Area, no BFE determined.
I hope I worded the subject to adequately convey my question. I was contacted by a board of directors (AHJ) who are concerned about recent flooding events to some of the cabins located in a fairground area (see attached). Some of the cabin owners occasionally demolish/re-build (as per their...
