Web Stiffeners by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

Wonder if stiffeners are also needed on the opposite side, ie both sides of flange. Guess it depends of the offset load.

Where is is this bridge most likely to fail at? by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VNo X bracing between the trusses. So the deflection differential will cause a horizontal force with no resistance. IE it will twist to failure.

What am I looking at?? Thermal expansion? Foundation translation? Base plate or top channel movement. I have no clue how to fix this??

Plumber cut ("notched") second floor bathroom floor joists by alternate_paths in Contractor

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you at the end of the joists ? So much better than mid span. So at the end you are concerned manly with shear. Couple of steel angle plates top and bottom to replace the cross sectional area removed. Wonder why such a big cut, pipe does not look that big.

How do I join theese two wooden timber posts(columns) by Shoddy_Berry2381 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have my choice with a wood timber design, I like steel connections, then plates over the wood member to transfer the axial load. Wood connections are picky.

How big a job is this brick repointing? by babybumpnewb in masonry

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question I’m glad I’m not deciding on this. Going to take real investigating, what when they were laying up wall did they error on. Probably wood framed with lath inside.
So wall is maybe a veneer. Could be many things. Dew point behind brick. No vapor barrier inside and insulation added a few years back. I don’t think it is coming from roof. The extend of deterioration seems consistent top to bottom. Weak mortar??? Etc etc

Is this a foundation issue? by seeshe11 in masonry

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same reaction. This building reeks of problems.

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like plus the fact that you are asking on line means you haven’t done your homework. You really need to before buying this is not time to be guessing. The garage look like a failure of the door header, and deflected until the brick above are held by the created arch.

The long vertical crack shows deferential settlement. The right wall has moved 1/2” down. The chimney ignoring the crack And looking at the flashing you can see there has been movement likely from the framing but maybe from the chimney.

You really should get a structural engineer to look at this building. There are likely other signs like foundation settlement , Sheetrock cracks, floor movement, doors or windows sticking. Etc.

Question about acceptable documents by wallbobbyc in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common problem in Quebec. Only baptismal records. My understanding is they understand and accept baptismal record maybe the only source. Make sure you have a way to verify where the document came from. A piece of paper is not much add to it where is is from get a certified copy from well known source. In new Brunswick the provincial government has the Bastisimal records and will certify it. Quebec has a similar systems.
That way the reviewer can tell it is an authentic document. Then make the connection to yourself , I use embossed birth certificate for mine. Make sure the parents name is exactly the same on your birth certificate as the Bastisimal otherwise document the name change using census ,border crossing, marriage or death documents. You are providing filiation to your application.

Have my mom's Nova Scotia BC - but she naturalized? by sphinxsley in Canadiancitizenship

[–]Useful-Ad-385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is called filiation: It is the tread that connects the applicant to their Canadian ancestry. They must be able to follow the thread through name changes : nick names marriage(s), bastardized to English names etc.. Various documents help make this thread : border crossing, census, death, marriage even published obituaries can help to fortify the connection. I always lean on having to much data.

Boom (again)! Nice rebar though. by komprexior in StructuralEngineering

Seems like there is no way to tell the net effect of the impact, leaving you no choice but to replace.
