Message-ID: <owmAzQQU/wpe090yn@flash.net> Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 19:19:36 -0600 From: Bill Polhemus <poly@flash.net> Subject: Concentrated Load on Concrete Joist To: CIVIL-L@hermes.csd.unb.ca We're designing a concrete joist in the form of a T-Beam "array" to carry LARGE concentrated loads on a cargo-ship wharf. The load is 350-Kip from outrigger on a loading crane, applied to a 42" square outrigger pad. The joist will have a 10" thick composite deck on top of it. I know that this load can be distributed amongst more than one T-Beam, but am unsure as to how to approach it. Does anyone have any suggestions, preferably backed up with references? Thanks much.
