  2. ASCE 7-16 Type 4 Horizontal Irregularity - Eng-Tips

    www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=485067

    8 Jul 21 20:21. My understanding is that the difference between Horizontal Type 4 and Vertical Type 4 is whether the offset in the wall is perpendicular to the wall (Horizontal Type 4) or parallel to the wall (Vertical Type 4). Both would cause the diaphragm / transfer element to carry significant overturning forces in addition to the shear ...

  3. Can anyone give me a formula to determine the volume of a horizontal 2:1 elliptical tank head at various levels of fluid fill? The total volume is easily calculated, but I cannot find any source to determine the volume of a horizontal segment. E.G., If I have an 2200mm 2:1 tank head, the depth of the head is 550mm.

  4. Brick Cladding Deflection Limits - Eng-Tips

    For the 7'-0" wall height of 7'-0", limit the deflection at the top wall to this distance. This allows the brick to deflect, and curve identically to an equivalent brick wall which runs the full height. ERV (Structural) 14 Feb 04 09:39. Reading all the posts, no one has mentioned horizontal deflection of the wall.

    1. Mean roof height h less than or equal to 18m. 2. Mean roof height h does not exceed least horizontal dimension. Whereas, High-Rise Building may be considered as flexible, or slender buildings that have a fundamental natural frequency less than 1 Hz. These definitions are according to the code. hokie66 (Structural) 17 Mar 16 18:11.

    Chainage is the level horizontal distance between points, or at least it's supposed to be. chainage shows only horizontal distance between two points. it doesnt include the length of longitudinal curves. i'm still confused.... i'm specially talking about road surveying.. If chainage is the level horizontal distance (leveled as a water surface ...

  7. "Top Bars" AND "Other Bars" - LAP Splices - Eng-Tips

    www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=206378

    any bar that has more than 12" of FRESH concrete cast beneath it (and is horizontal) is a "top" bar. "top" bar does not apply to vertical bars. "top" bars can be in any member - slabs (only very thick ones), beams, girders, walls, footings. JAE (Structural) 7 Jan 08 22:08. I'd add that I would consider a sloped bar with 12" below it a "top" bar ...

    Industry practice for optimum dimensions for horizontal and vertical vessels, at least from a cost perspective, is for L/D to range from a minimum of 3 to a max of 6 - this is usually applied to vapor liquid separators and gas scrubbers. Higher L/D (approaching 6) leads to a lower plate thickness and easier fabrication in most cases.

  9. RE: How to decide Fixed saddle and sliding saddle in HORIZONTAL FIXED BED REACTOR? 1503-44 (Petroleum) 30 Apr 20 20:06 Be sure you put the slide plate on the saddle that has the slots in its base plate and if the fixed saddle isn't on the piperack side, inform your supervisor.

  10. ASCE 7-05 "Least Horizontal Dimension" - Eng-Tips

    www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=315846

    If your reduced horizontal dimension from the complex design becomes unconservative, the 4% or 3 ft limit will control and keep you in line. I don't see a problem with the way your approach. The ASCE 7 wind design method is based on generalized "boxes". When you have a building with wings and smaller appendages extending out from it you have to ...

    1) we are "padding" the estimate for each lateral by a couple of feet by measuring from the centerline of the mainline to the inside face of the catch basin. 2) the measurement is to be horizontal and then rounded up to the nearest foot. 3) there was discussion of then rounding each one up to the nearest "even" integer.
