Hi,
Not having a lot of experience, I'm looking for a simple approach for the following situation:
I need to design a prestressing bed foundation consisting of 2 parallel concrete walls 128 ft long, 8ft high x probably 16" thick, 7 ft apart. The walls will be buried up to 16" from the top on...
Thanks for the replys!
I don't have a geotech report but was using a soil program which gives me 32 kip/ft for the total wall... not conservative enough? The embankment is cut back at 45° starting a few feet from the base, so the pressure will be mainly from the sandy backfill.
Does someone...
HI! I need some tips on how to handle lateral soil loads (15 kips x 1.7 per lineal ft? at base only) on a 2 story concrete cold storage building approx 75 x 100' with 3 interior shear walls -- to be built into an embankment, buried on 3 sides. Back wall is 30 ft deep,(possibly on bedrock) bottom...
