Thats the answer I was afraid of ... but I guess I have no choice. And yes, BAretired, it is an 18" solid concrete slab. I work at a nuclear plant, and the specifications are very strict! Thanks very much.
My firm is modifying a composite roof. It is a combination of W sections and an 18" concrete roof (36 ksi and 5000 psi concrete with 60 ksi reinforcement). We are adding a series of walkways (tunnels)on the existing composite roof and anchoring it to the roof using anchor bolts. Is there any way...
Thanks for replying. My background is Structural Engineering, but I am an entry level engineer. Therefore the problem. The thing is that the pole already exists, and I need to strengthen it by adding the concrete base. The height is 20 feet. I dont understand what you mean by flaking size?
Hi all,
I have a concrete pole flaking at the bottom. I have to design a circular supporting base around it to resist a wind force acting at two-third height form the bottom. The problem is it is not exactly a foundation nor is it a beam. i have no idea how to proceed. Can anybody help me?
