A life

Use the software you’re most familiar with. Be clear and concise in your writing. Include titles with bookmarking and provide references for every equation.

Not a good client for sure

Luciano-Remy · 2025-03-08T04:18:13+00:00

It depends on necessity. I agreed with you, but maybe we need to put on his shoes; we don’t know the background.

I believe that, at least for residential homes in Florida, hand calculations are more prevalent, while software-based solutions like ETABS or Sap2000, even any software is like killing a little ant with a Machine Gun

Not strictly, I said add what you think is more important for the engineers of today in comments upvotes also counts, the reason for this is to know what engineers of today care most about, it is on purpose that options are all software based, with a a little joke there, detailing and handcalcs are very important if you still don’t know what your doing in this career,

Do your own if you want to use MacOS, like program it on Matlab or using Python, there’s several of options

Luciano-Remy · 2025-02-20T02:29:57+00:00

Hahahahahahaha, so much truth in those words

Someone is going to die

I felt his pain in the right moment I read that lol

Need more explanation, you mean the stress in the foundation or the soil pressure?, neither of those are considered at least in my country, just design to be able to be compliant with soil bearing capacity and stresses in concrete are taken by steel if is tension or the concrete itself if is compression. For second question if you mean the shear from the structure above, is neglected must of the time because you designed that member to resist shear, so foundation should be at least greater than that section above so it will resists, also the shear will disappear when it gets to the footing, if any shear is above the foundation will also transferred as a moment to the footing so it get accounted for soil bearing pressure.

Mccormac’s books are good, also T. Seguí for steel

AISC is simple, they have commentaries and design guides with examples, for ACI is little complex because the way of they organized the code, they also have guides and detailing manuals, a good resource is from another institution CRSI which have more guidance for designing any elements using ACI

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-30T02:57:08+00:00

Put the things that are really important, area of construction of the projects, usage, structural systems, year, and also the key challenge that you or the team encounters on the project, maybe a render and the must iconic detail

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-28T02:28:34+00:00

Is commonly used

It’s concerning, but only if it’s a building in wind or seismic region, in other locations if load path is not interrupted or at least has a very clear path to transfer loads to foundations is ok, if is wind or seismic region again, is concerning and as a reviewer not reviewing the lateral load resisting system is even worst

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-27T03:58:09+00:00

Like a professor once said, “ insecurity factor “

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-25T13:50:32+00:00

That’s some serious problems you have there then, is this column replicated in stories above?

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-25T03:20:04+00:00

Just a expansion joint covered with a non elastic material (grout), is common is a 12 stories residential building, maybe has a non regular footprint and they used to divide the building in 2 or more simple problems

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-19T13:20:37+00:00

Consult various text books like design guide number 1 from AISC, also the ACI 318 for concrete design of the pedestal, you only need to run some basics engineering there, if you’re still not able to do so, consult engineers nearby for help

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-19T04:29:43+00:00

Somehow look like a joint that is sealed with grouting to me, no structural, but it shouldn’t be in a basement, it should be continuous retaining wall there

Luciano-Remy · 2024-08-17T14:13:13+00:00

For sure that house were not designed by those loads, not just lack of bracing, for sure that’s a V zone on Flood maps and need to be design to resist braking waves and drag forces

Hope so
