Tnx for the input guys... Actually the architect design the tie beam since the building is an airport facility, its maybe because due to anticipated vibration effect on the building but there is no such soil consideration in designing the tie beam. Ok.. for example i consider the no. 2 and no. 3...
We have to design two storey Office building, the architect ask me, at what depth should the TIE BEAM be located from NGL. I suggested that it can be located at the the midpoint of the portion of the column buried from NGL to its depth, I suggested also that it can support the masonry as masonry...
When I have seen this site I notice that most of you here are giving more emphasis on FEA, I am mostly doing Structural Design but mostly when I'm designing two 3 storey and below, doing hand calculation analysis, my method is either PORTAL METHOD or CANTILEVER METHOD for frames and ACI...
guys I have something to ask you... I just studying now how to use ETABS program... How can I make load combination? Is it automatically the program will make load combination base on the assigned input loads? Coz base on my observation once you run the analysis, automatically once you click the...
thanks guys for the input but i don't really understand the point... in my own understanding shear wall is different from masonry wall right? what I mean masonry wall is CONCRETE HALLOW BLOCKS filled with mortar with horizontal and vertical reinforcement, that wall can resist 250km/h wind speed...
guys I have question for you....
when it is needed to put shear wall in a building?
what is the basis or criteria to consider that the building need to design with shear wall???
there is an instance that we design concrete two storey residential building. We design the frame as a lateral load...
mmmm.... I'm so familiar with that kind of approach when frame is subject to lateral load and gravity load... the common practice is that, first, you analyze the frame separately with lateral load alone using portal method, and secondly, analyze the the continuous beam using moment distribution...
Hi,
I,m using STAAD.PRO program in designing multi storey concrete and steel building. Base on experience STAAD is good in concrete design. But in steel design it is good in designing for limited situation. Like, it is good in designing steel members but the problems is that the joint...
I'm a civil engineer practicing more on structural engineering. I'm searching manuals, references, spreadsheets, etc...which can help me how to design concrete shear wall specially shear wall supporting elevators in high rise buildings. Any body can give techniques, the approach, and what to be...
