Hi all,
I just finished designing an oil containment pit and submitted to IFC, but now I am working through maybe best practices for how I should design in the future.
So, this time we had a custom oil containment with two transformer pads within a single containment. I did a calc in excel to calculate the required size of the oil containment based on the two transformers. Then on top of that, we did a mathcad slab design for each transformer slab. On top of that, we did the overall larger slab (bottom of containment pit) in RisaFoundation. Then, we also did a single retaining wall calc in RisaFoundation to act as the walls of the containment pit. Mostly to check our rebar design. All in all, this is a lot to put together into a calc package.
I was wondering if anyone has any pointers on how I could combine all of this into one calc and eliminate having to separate everything. Is there a better software to use rather than RisaFoundation?
Thanks!
