NO I would definitely not do this. I would still design per section 21.6, but with a more relaxed confinement criteria.

When designing a SMF column, I checked section 21.6.1 of ACI 318-11, which states..."Requirements of this section apply to special moment frame members that form part of the seismic-for-resisting system and that resist a factored axial compressive force Pu under any load combination exceeding...

I just gave my 2 weeks notice to my company, however I am in the middle of a few job which I am stamping. The jobs are no where near done and will go past my 2 week mark. Does my current company have the right to keep using my stamp on those projects that I stamped, even after I leave the...

Is the "Structural Engineering Reference Manual" allowed in the SE exam in California?

Any U.S. P.E.'s have experience with registering as a P.Eng in Canada? I am a U.S. based P.E., and do a few projects a year in Canada and wanted to get my P.Eng in Canada (Ontario & B.C.). I was wondering if any of you had any experience with that and how easy/difficult it was. I have...

I already have my SE license in Illinois and my CA PE license, are you telling me that I have to retake and pass this new SE test inorder to qualify to take the CSLRE to get my CA SE license? That makes absolutely no sense!!! Why should I have to retake the SE exam, which in my opinion is...
