    Min Area of Steel for Spread Footing

    I went thru my notes from concrete class, and min steel in footings was based on 10.5.1 not 10.5.4. I agree that flexure might not be a concern, but it is present and 10.5.1 apply to min steel where tensile reinforcement is required by analysis, even if is not controlling. so whay wouldnt min...

    Lindeburg is good one. suggestion don't study like you normally would do (unless you dont know about subject), but do problems and get yourself NCEES reference book, the one that you will have on the exam, and use it (ONLY that one)to solve all example problems in Lindeburg review manual. Also...

    I just had guy come to my office and asked to do structural analysis on existing antenna that was slightly modified. Our answer was that on top on engineering time we would add additional $20,000 (deductible on our insurance) just in case. Since we would stamp it, it would be our liability. The...

    ASCE 7-05 wind lads

    I have new question regarding Cp for roof in wind direction normal to ridge for 0 degree angle and for wind parallel to rige. (figure 6-6) I have ratio h/L=0.87, values that are givien in the table are for h/L<0.5 or h/L>1. So Im in between and what now?

    displaying numbers in equations

    thanks guys, it works. but one more question. I have nested variables, mean in my final equation I have values that were equations at one point of time. When Im using explicit operation it brakes up valuse very detailed including equations that I already have numerical value calculated for. so...
