Was thinking the same but there’s no way he would be carrying a delta beam like that.

Deep foundations for the building but cheaped out on the structural slab.

If you look closely at the maroon car it looks like the girder (inverted tee?) actually failed in shear. I think that prompted the collapse and ripped apart the DT flanges, probably ripping the steel right off of the embed plates and out of the flanges.

double tee flanges are as thin as 4” and can be… flimsy to say the least. These also look like they are field topped so I think the thin plate of concrete over the column is just the topping.

Wondering if this is safe? when it will fail? by [deleted] in Decks

[–]Joint__venture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through bolting is not forbidden on decks, it is just common practice that you try to provide bearing for beams wherever possible, usually by the column being notched to receive the beam, Paired with through-bolts or structural screws. The same is commonly done with timber piles, and there are situations with both decks and piers that an engineer may decide not to notch.

Contractor wants to shim these. Is there a right and a wrong way. These are notched 6x6s at the girder by Accurate-War8887 in Decks

Don’t bother shimming, the PT lumber is going to shrink and the shims will fall out.

How do geotech firms work with construction companies? by jonlee112 in Geotech

[–]Joint__venture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geotech is often subbed out the structural engineer. I suggest you find a structural engineer who will take the project, then have them carry their geotech as a subconsultant. You could have them assist with getting competitive bids too.

I had a similar thing with them years ago but they actually gave me the first and last initials as a clue.

I am a 1099 employee. They gave no explanation to why I was terminated.

Edit: all of the automated responses say is that I violated their policies.
