Cantilevered steel column design

I have a question regarding cantilevered steel columns as the seismic force resisting system. I have a steel framed platform on the interior of a building. I am using cantilevered column system G.3 from Table 12.2-1 in ASCE-05 with R=1.25 for the platform. Also, section 12.2.5.2 limits the...

Chevron, Inverted V, X-bracing 2

These things depend a bit on the case, if the structure is small better do the two examples and decide. Except by forcing tension-only etc it is difficult the braces not to alter the vertical allocation of loads to columns, and you may prefer some columns be better more loaded or the braces, or you can operate on such things to get a more uniform and buildable structure.

compaction for aggregate basecourse/sub-base?

one thought: i'd be careful if you saw 95% compaction (standard/modified?). the state DOT here has a line in there about this but it's referring to remedial work...a lot of civils see that and run with it on drawings. when you read further, it requires either 98% or modified depending on the aggregate used. most everywhere here, it's modified for base course …

Crushed Granite vs. Crushed Limestone for Base

Granite is a harder rock, so I was thinking no issue, but I'm wondering if permeability (bathtub effect) is a big difference when comparing granite fines vs limestone fines. I'm a civil/structural engr, and we have a good geotech that I've left a message with, but he's out-of-pocket for a day or two.

stop globe/check, difference?

The difference from a normal stop globe valve is the ability of the globe to freely move open and close as a check valve if not locked by the spindle in closed position. The attachment and griping between stem and globe will have to differ from a normal stop valve, in addition to (usually) additional spring and guiding arrangment for the globe.

EB204

The distinction in terminology (base versus subbase) recognizes these basic differences. This publication discusses concrete pavement subbases, and the reader is encouraged to adopt this term into their common or local terminology.

Subbases and Subgrades

Most native soils are not too uniform and thus require some improvement or additional layers to compensate. A subbase is a thin layer of material placed on top of the prepared subgrade. Subbases provide uniform support to the …
