Dear Engineers,

Currently we are doing site clearing for piling works. However, we discovered that there is a pile raft foundation (factory previously) underneath the tower block footprint. In oth ...

Dear Engineers,

In normal practice, we provide big transfer beam underneath shear wall so that large opening can be obtained below the transfer level.

为考试ple, if the shear wall is 10m leng ...

Not necessary to use a very large section to cater a large bending moment. For instance, if my section is 1000x2200, the cracking moment is about +-3600KN.m for G45 concrete. If this section has to wi ...

ya. this is exactly what i mean. however, you are saying that for small and simple structure. my next question is since small structure works then why not we use it in big and complicated structure li ...

Dear Members,

In our RCC design, we normally ignore the bending capacity of concrete itself. My question is why don't we make use of it so that rebar in the member will not be too congested?

If ...

Dear All,

Anyone has the experience on transfer plate design in which supporting all shear walls going up to roof top.

Dear Friend,

My question is very clear of course. Common sensely, if the shear wall is on the transverse direction of transfer beam then it will not cause the torsional moment.

My question is ...

Hi, what about if shear wall on transfer beam? can we model the eccentricity for this case?

Dear All,

Can anyone please enlighten me on how to cater the torsional moment developed when the shear wall is resting at the edge of transfer beam. I believe most of the software in the market has ...

hi Sir, possible to share this portion of book?
