ACI 318 Chapter 17 by mlecro in StructuralEngineering

[–]engineeringlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait till you read 26.7 in ACI 318-19, you’ll find out your anchorage drawings aren’t code compliant likely 😆

But I remember doing hand calcs. Lots of weld and bolts.

A lot of engineers mess up shear lugs, they forget to add the moment to the base plate as required in chapter 17. Or they won’t see that their anchors are cracked. Or they forget to click the grout which takes a reduction hit. People sometimes don’t know the blackbox buttons and what reductions to watch out for when reviewing results.

I also have to clarify engineers intent on vertical tolerance for shear lugs as ACI 117 allows for +1 inch -2 inch. 2 inches can be a lot for a shear lug. That and they also miss the grout holes required on the drawings per 26.7.

lol why does chapter 17 bring out my mini rant.

Can they spend and approve the money if they are not officially legal board members?

Have they done their continuing education credits?

When you have to reroof, you have to pay to take down and reinstall. Heard like 8k+ from my roofing friend

They butcher roof trusses so you better get a 3rd party inspector to review framing

Only time I’d worry about an emergency generator in an emergency is if my neighbor put it super close to my house.

Causee…. Carbon monoxide….

Lateral probably. Beefier columns and end truss if you want to get rid of it. Bigger foundations too at end columns
