    How Do You Calculate Building Loads for a Concrete Office in North Vancouver?

    The following 6‐storey (5 elevated floor and roof) concrete office building is located in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where the soil condition is site class B. The lateral force resisting system is ductile concrete shear walls with Rd = 3.5 and Ro = 1.6. The storey height is 4...

    Pipe Design Problem (Diameter and Pump Determination)

    Yes. I have calculated the total length of the pipe(1162 km), and the respective major losses due to friction. However on that particular equation of Pump energy= Delta Z + V2^2/2g+HL. Isn't V2 = 0?? Since the velocity on both of the reservoir is negligible (i.e. very large areas). Thus the...

    Pipe Design Problem (Diameter and Pump Determination)

    Hello, Thanks for the reply. Can you explain why the pumps has to be close to Reservoir A as not to cause cavitation? Or do you mean to say we have to place pumps along the pipe until the maximum point of the pipe? We are given that each pump can deliver a total head of 100m. However, the...

    Pipe Design Problem (Diameter and Pump Determination)

    You are the Chief Engineer for a prominent hydraulics consulting company. Your client wants to pay you lots of money to design a system to deliver 1 m3/s from reservoir A at elevation 300 m to reservoir B at 500 m. The distance from A to B is 1000 km and the elevation between the two reservoirs...
