AOA, I have shared all suggestions with my engineering department, and they have prepared a report and submitted to lender engineer for review purposes. Will contact you as soon I get some remarks. Regards, Waqas

AOA Thank you for you response, I have shared your suggestions with my engineering department. I will update you after finding remarks from them. Kind regards, Waqas

AOA Sir. Umar, The condition is as follow, We placed concrete for a circular Wind Turbine Foundation of Ø19m, but after concrete activity, client noticed a pour line at the edge of the foundation (horizontal direction), which according to their understanding is COLD JOINT. Now, our lender engineer want us to submit some calculation indicating that the COLD JOINT is not detrimental for structural integrity. Our engineers, could simulate such situation through some Russian or Chinese standards, considering as a superimposed beam, but they are trying to figure this problem out using ACI. Now the nut shell is, our engineers need to show off the lender engineers that if this is cold joint, will it still be able to take the load of wind turbine for future. Would need your assistant in this regard. Regards, Waqas

Hi All, I would really be happy to get some reference or any standard specifications including ACI for the design and calculation of superimposed beams. Hope you are all doing good. Regards, Waqas
