General practices used for the construction of drilled shafts are briefly reviewed in this course. The influence of construction method and concrete quality on the development of side and base …

Shaft – a rotating element used to transmit power or motion. It provides axis of rotation for rotating elements and controls their motion. Axle – a non-rotating element that carries no torque and is used …

Shaft Design A shaft is the component of a mechanical device that transmits rotational motion and power. It is integral to any mechanical system in which power is transmitted from a prime mover, …

USG shaft wall systems are engineered to withstand pressure loads and provide in-service impact resistance to ensure long-term performance and durability. Use this section to determine the size …

Shaft is a common and important machine element. It is a rotating member, in general, has a circular cross-section and is used to transmit power. The shaft may be hollow or solid. The shaft is supported …

USG Shaft Wall Systems are non-load-bearing gypsum wall partition assemblies constructed from outside the shaft at each floor. Shafts are enclosed early in construction, and the walls are finished …

This method involves estimating the shaft capacity using one of the previously discussed method (or similar) and verifying the estimated capacity using a full-scale prototype shaft loaded to ultimate …
