Willing to answer all civil engineering-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering. | |

I can answer any questions to do with engineering consultancy and construction industry in East Africa and the Middle East, and specifically with the analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. My particular expertise is in the aseismic design and optimisation of tall buildings. |
Hi Raj, Yes, you can cut cores anytime after 7-14 days (so long as concrete is hard enough not to disintegrate). Normally, they should be extracted and tested at 28 days strength, but 3 months is also
Hi Ravi, If your building does not have very stiff columns or shear walls, then the temperature analysis may not show up significant results. Remember also that the range of temperature variation has
Hi Mohammed, The procedure is as I described in my answer above. In addition, you can visit the CSI website and download the watcha nd learn video tutorials: http://www.csiberkeley.com/Support_WL_ETABS
Hi Muhammad, UBC makes the recommendation you have quoted as these members, when cracked, lead to higher sways/deflections of the frame/building. If a slab is supported on beams, then whether the slab
Hi Muhammad, The effect of plinth beams on lateral stiffness/deflection depends a lot on the geometry (e.g. depth of foundations)and relative stiffness of plinth beams compared to say the columns and
