Does anyone know of a good reference for analyzing steel floor plate supported by steel beams? The plate is subjected to uniform and point loading conditions. For the particular case I am evaluating the plate is simply supported along the long edge of the plate and free on the short edges...
I realize there have been other threads on wind loads on conveyors. My particular project is to evaluate an existing radial stacker (belt conveyor). The client is concerned with uplift due to wind. I am following the provisions of ASCE 7-02. The uplift wind will be based on an arched roof...
The rebar cage is only from the top of the pile to half-way down the pile. The rebar cage extends above the top of the pile (into the foundation - full development length). The center bar extends the full length of the auger cast pile. The rebar cage will handle the flexure + axial...
Thanks for your comments.
The center bar is not for prestressing. Per ACI 543 a center bar is used the length of the pile. In this case the bar is used to care the tensile load that is induced due to seismic loading. The use of the 120ksi bar is a common practice.
I am designing an 18" diameter auger cast pile with a center rod that as fy=120ksi and a rebar cage with an fy=60ksi. The rebar cage is made up of 8-#7 bars with hoop ties. I am analyzing the pile as a short column. However, what is the proper way to input the center rod into software that...
