    Beams Wall
AI Thread Summary
A low brick wall should ideally rest on top of beams for proper structural support, similar to a full-height wall. The design must consider load distribution to ensure stability. Concerns were raised about the adequacy of the proposed design, indicating a need for careful planning. If this inquiry is for academic purposes, it may be more appropriate to seek assistance in a dedicated homework forum. Proper support is crucial for any wall to maintain structural integrity.

Hey guys!

Supposedly I will need to design a floor with slab, beams and columns. Brickwall should rest on top of beam as possible. How about low wall, does it needs to rest on top of beams as well? Thanks!

Harry.

Well, if this is for your work, and I were your client and saw this I would be seriously worried.

Or if this is for schoolwork, I can delete this thread and you can re-post in the Homework Help forums, and you will show your work toward the solution. What's your pleasure?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
