  2. Seismic retrofit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_retrofit

    Such columns are reinforced by excavating to the foundation pad, driving additional pilings, and adding a new, larger pad, well connected with rebar alongside or into the column. A column with insufficient wrapping bar, which is prone to burst and then hinge at the bursting point, may be completely encased in a circular or elliptical jacket of ...

  3. Caisson (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)

    These piles are connected by a foundation pad upon which the column pier is erected. Caisson engineering has been used since at least the 19th century, with three prominent examples being the Royal Albert Bridge (completed in 1859), the Eads Bridge (completed in 1874), and the Brooklyn Bridge (completed in 1883).

  4. Strap footing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strap_footing

    A strap footing is a component of a building's foundation. It is a type of combined footing, [1] consisting of two or more column footings connected by a concrete beam. This type of beam is called a strap beam. It is used to help distribute the weight of either heavily or eccentrically loaded column footings to adjacent footings. [2]

  5. Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_span_replacement_of...

    When all pilings were in place, a reinforced concrete pad was poured at the bottom of the cofferdam to form a footing for the column, subsequently cast in place around rebar using reusable metal formwork. A single viaduct segment located over each column was cast in place using forms. [39]

  6. Anchor bolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_bolt

    The connection can be made by a variety of different components: anchor bolts (also named fasteners), steel plates, or stiffeners. Anchor bolts transfer different types of load: tension forces and shear forces. [3] A connection between structural elements can be represented by steel columns attached to a reinforced concrete foundation. [4]

  7. Tilt up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_up

    The chronological steps that need to be taken for a tilt-up project are: site evaluation, engineering, footings and floor slabs, forming tilt-up panels, steel placement, embeds and inserts, concrete placement, panel erection and panel finishing. [1] [6] Once the pad (casting surface or floor slab) has cured, forms are built on top. Dimensional ...

  8. STAAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STAAD

    This is a standalone application, which is operated outside the STAAD.Pro environment, but requires a model and results data from a suitable analysis. The model should typically be formed from beams and columns (plates are currently not supported). RCDC can be used to design the following objects: Pile Caps, Footings, Columns and walls, Beams ...

  9. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    A combined footing is typically utilized when the spacing of the columns is too restricted such that if isolated footing were used, they would overlap one another. Also, when property lines make isolated footings eccentrically loaded, combined footings are preferred. When the load among the columns is equal, the combined footing may be rectangular.
