slab shrinkage ? the temperature change is not too much. it is a controlled environment. secondly the slab is 5" thick and not large spans involved.

This problem has occurred in a six story concrete building, 42ft x 100ft. simple plan, regular structure. The strange thing is that all of the sudden the floor marble tiles simply popped out completely. please see the photograph and plan as attached for illustration what could be the possible...

what are the dimensions of your building.

found this on the internet while searching on different types steel to concrete jointing methods.

Typically braces go from joint to joint, but not necessarily, it depends on your analysis and assumptions too. For example K-type Bracing.

How about a concrete flat slab structure ? i think its the most economical up to 6 stories.

NONE as per diagram, not enough lateral fixity between the concrete deck and the cold rolled box beam.

if you are using shear wall at one end (very right) make sure you check that the center of the Rigidity, as the building will exhibit large twist in floors. Your center of Rigidity should be close to center of mass. When you say braced frame ? what is bracing these frames ??

i am sorry it is not Ram Advanse, it is RAM STRUCTURAL SYSTEM. StructuralEIT you may be right that its all about the strain in steel, but still if one used a code to design a member, i believe then the relevant clauses should be satisfied. The frame is being designed as a Special moment...

attached is the desktop shot of the problem i am facing, trying to design this 7 story building as a S.M.R.F. but Ram keeps reminding me that as per 21.4 Pu < As.fc/10 so cannot be designed as a column. what should i do to satisfy this ? reduce the size of column ?

attach here the model that you have produced ! lets look at it.

seen it all ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7472722.stm

civilperson it is in a substantial quake zone. Zone 4, distance from source less than 5 Km. It needs strength for the lateral loading, 88000 people died here, mostly under lateral collapse of non load bearing stone masonry (most common construction technique here). concretemasonry i am...

i am working for "Save the children" and have been recently deputed to Pakistan, for a construction project for the (2005) earthquake victims. This school construction project is scatered and is in very remote areas. the construction is hollow concrete block masonry with (non load bearing), nine...

How to model a tension wire rope in RAM ADVANSE. ?

there is not much architecture involeved in simple portal frames, tapered frames, or truss type industrial or warehouse buildings. these type of buildings are typical and the basic requirements are Heights, most importantly the free span, and economy. there is a trend of P.E.B. specialists...

what is the difference between gravity beam and lateral beam ?

StructuralEIT its a concrete wall, and the slab edges "hooks" into the wall, the wall is providing a line support to the slabs.

When suggeted method used, the beams are only transfered half the load they should be transfered to, and remaining load goes to the columns in form of point load, the beams are therefore designed for half the load. and columns recieve half the moment they should be recieving. I wrestled with RAM...

prsconsultant i have tried your way, it may be good for column design but surely is not good for beams. do you use RAM SS to design complete concrete structures ? columns beams and footing ? if so then how do to you model two load onto the beams
