Hello ash060. You mentioned that AISC code of practice has requirement for forces to complete the connection design. Is it possible for you to provide which document and chapter? Sorry I am not so familiar with American code. Thank you very much.
Thanks for comments. Paddingtongreen,
When you design major connection and check panel shear, do you consider the shear and tension from column? Have you see any calculation include shear from column?
Thank you very much for help.
As structural engineers, we normally provide the connection forces (moment, shear and axial forces) from a beam for MC connection between a column and a beam. The forces from the column (moment, shear and axial) are not provided. However, as per AISC design guideline 13, the column shear will...
Thank you all for comments.
I am in the situation that I have to sign on Schedule C-2. I am thinking to collect some documents and do site visit even it is complete.
As a professional engineer in Alberta, I signed Schedule B-1 to authority that I will responsible for field review of concrete foundation. However, field review was performed by site engineers. Everything is arranged by the company. Now the construction is complete. I need to sign on Schedule...
Thank you very much for all comment, for the check list and for templete of Site visit report. If I have a chance to do field review, I will take your advice.
Thank JAE for providing link to "Construction Admin - Legal Responsibility". I do have some questions concerning responsibility. I will...
I am a structural engineer. I would like to know what should be done for field review as a professional in the concrete construction site. Any special item I should check? Comment and suggestion are appreciated very much. Thank.
Thanks, Ron and BigH for your valuable comments.
Other piles were end up at length 20 to 26m.
The refusal pile has certain capacity, but not full capacity. Otherwise it should not be abandoned. If refusal pile became overstressed, the load will pass to replacement piles by beam. During this...
Thank you very much for your valuable comments!
The refusal pile and two replacement piles were connected by one concrete beam (pile cap, width=1.5m), which is just a tie beam (not much reinforcement inside). Concrete pedestal is on the top of the concrete beam. It would be more conservative to...
I am a structural engineer and need to solve a problem with refused steel pipe pile.
1.This is a group of 8 (2x4) pile foundation. Concrete pedestal is located at pipe pile location. Concrete beams are provided to tie the piles together.
2. The middle pipe pile should be driven to 26m, but...
