Does any know if there are any special design requirements (outside of ASCE 7-05 Ch 6 and 12) for an oxygen tank enclosure. Basically, the structure consists of a rectangular CMU wall with a steel gate on one side (to allow access to the oxygen tank). The structure is completely open--no roof...

Just curious if anyone can help out with this..... I've got a 5" diameter beam with a uniform load on it. NDS Equ 3.4-1 (pg 15) says fv = VQ/(Ib) I've got V and I = pi*d^4/64 Here's the question----b is defined as "breadth (thickness) of rectangular bending member" on NDS pg 5 --> yet...

I just realized that anytime I worked a concrete problem with lateral loads, they were always seismic based lateral loads and I applied the text of Ch. 21. This begs the question.....if the wind load governs the lateral design, do we just use the general provisions of ACI 318-05 (i.e. Ch 10...

I think I have found a discrepancy in a phi value for LRFD between ACI 318-05 and Steel Construction Manual 13th Edition. With regard to the bearing strength of concrete, the Steel Construction Manual says to use phi = 0.60 (Section J8, Pg 16.1-115) I believe that in ACI 318-05 for Section...

Can anyone confirm for me that a masonry wall is considered to be a "slender wall" when the (effective height/thickness) > 12? I haven't found this information in any text yet and want to make sure I know when a wall is "slender" so that it gets designed with Strength Design per the NCEES...

Looks like registration is open for the October 2008 Exams through ELSES....

Anybody know where these AISC Basic Design Values Cards can be found? Are they in the Steel Construction Manual 13th Edition? Alan Williams keeps referencing them in solutions to steel problems in his Kaplan books and I have not been able to find them anywhere.

I have been working some steel problems in both SERM (4th Edition) and also in "Seismic Design Review for the PE Exam" (6th Edition)--Kaplan book. I have run into a couple problems involving tension connections and trying to determine the effective area. In both SERM (Pg 4-30) and "Seismic...

Just curious if any CA civil PE's have gone over to Arizona to take the SE II exam prior to their "3-year clock" finishing before the CA SE application process? I'm toying with the idea of knocking out the SE II exam, because I have a feeling that by the time I can apply for the CA SE...

Just curious what others pay. The "great state of Cal-e-for-naa" :210: charges $275 each time you register for it.

Hello to all, New to the forum, like the crowd, enjoy the atmosphere :) Still waiting on results from CA Civil PE :) Congrats to all those that have passed :th_rockon:
