    Vertical Spacing of Column Ties

    JAE -- I'd appreciate your view of the commentary R7.10.5 regarding the limited tests done on tied columns as well as columns without ties.

    Vertical Spacing of Column Ties

    JAE -- I forgot to mention that the upper floor balcony columns are complete 14" dia. circular columns. For some reason, the architect wanted the half circle columns at the ground floor.

    Vertical Spacing of Column Ties

    JAE -- There is one pair of this half-circle column at the ground floor that supports 2 upper small balcony floors (2nd & 3rd); one column at each end of the balcony.

    Vertical Spacing of Column Ties

    10.8.3 would give me an equivalent 7" diameter column for the half section that I have. I agree that the builder didn't comply with the code of 7" max tie spacing but the commentary R7.10.5 also mentions that limited tests were done on full-size, axially-loaded, tied columns containing...

    Vertical Spacing of Column Ties

    I have a semi-circle column, 14" in diameter supporting a balcony slab. The equivalent circular compression member for this column shape is adequate to carry the design load. ACI 318 (7.10.5.2) states that the vertical spacing of the ties should not exceed the least dimension of the compression...

    Structural Slab

    I agree with WillisV that the slab will behave as a 2-way slab because of its width to length ratio. A simple rational 2-way slab design can be done using the ACI Coefficient Method. A sample problem can be seen in a book authored by George Winter and Arthur Nilson "Design of Concrete...

    Epicore SLab

    In the Epicore Composite Floor System, the units serve as a form, total positive reinforcement, and partial temperature reinforcement for the slab. If the deck is badly corroded (midspan of the slab), any suggestions as to how to remedy the problem and restore back the structural integrity of...

    Soil Bearing Capacity for N-Values of SPT

    Is there any reference material that lists values of soil bearing capacities for various soil types given the N-values taken from Standard Penetration Tests?

    Soil Bearing Capacity from N-values of SPT for Design Purposes

    Is there any reference material available that gives values of soil bearing capacity for various soil foundation types (e.g. compacted sand and gravel, etc) using&nbsp;&nbsp;corresponding N-values obtained from Standard Penetration Tests?
