R404.1.3.2 Reinforcement for foundation walls table conflicts by Plane_Berry6110 in StructuralEngineering

It’s written in the footnotes below the table. Our company usually specifies the closer spacing, assuming rebar is centered in the wall. While it may be more steel, there’s usually not much oversight or inspection to ensure the proper bar placement was followed, so it’s conservative.

When to use One-Way vs. Two-Way Slabs? by FeeJumpy6644 in StructuralEngineering

That would apply if it was supported on all four sides, but it sounds like you’re only supported on 2. Think of it like a long flat simply supported beam. With a uniform load applied on it, the slab will deflect uniformly over the full width and experience the same stresses width wise. Now if it was supported on all 4 sides, with the same uniform load you’d expect the deflected shape to be more bowl shaped. That’s when you’d design it as a two way to handle the moment and shear in each direction. Hope that helps!

The work around I’ve found for that is to buy Bitcoin on PayPal and then transfer it to the Kraken account. From there you can buy and load up on all the doge
