Residential
A&M Engineering has assembled a specialized group of engineers with extensive experience in the design of post tension slabs, pier and beam foundations, rebar foundations, and concrete.
We also have extensive experience in the design of steel and wood framing members utilized in light weight commercial and residential construction.
We provide on-site inspections of new and existing residential and commercial structures and provide problem identification and resolution for structural framing problems, structural system failures, and air and water infiltrations.
Post Tension Foundation Design
Post-Tension slabs are a method of pre-stressing. Pre-stressed concrete or masonry has Post-Tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete, masonry, and other structural elements. Post-Tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete, masonry, and other structural elements. Post-Tension slabs are a method of pre-stressing. Pre-stressed concrete or masonry has
internal stresses (forces) induced into it during the construction phase for the purpose of counteracting the anticipated external loads that it will encounter during its lifecycle.Pier & Beam Foundation Design
Pier & beam concrete foundations is a concrete footing and pier which supports wood beams and floor joists. These concrete foundations usually have crawl spaces underneath the home.Conventional Foundation Design
Conventional Concrete Slabs are reinforced using conventional rebar wire-tied in a grid pattern to reinforce the slab-on-grade running in both directions.Wood-Frame Construction
Wood-frame construction has been the system of choice for many years. The lumber and plywood are the building material of choice when reducing both labor and material in wood-frame house construction are the focus point while maintaining house quality and value.
Platform framing refers to the erection of a home one story at a time. In the case of a two-story building, the first-floor walls are erected and the floor system for the second story is set on top of the walls. The result is a one-story high “platform” on which to begin erection of
the second story walls.With balloon framing, studs run full height from sill-plate on the first floor to the top plate, to
a maximum of 20 feet. This method was popular before the 1930s and is still used on occasion for stucco and other masonry-walled two-story houses because such structures shrink and settle more uniformly than do platform structures. However, balloon framing is
more dangerous to erect, and the long, straight wall studs required have grown increasingly
expensive and scarce.
Foundation Design
Our process to have your commercial or residential concrete foundation designed is simple.
Deliver your plan at our office, mail it, or email a CAD drawing to submit@anm-eng.com. We’ll
need your house plan and a soils report to design your foundation. The type of foundation will
depend on the soils and your preference. We currently have a 3-5 days turnaround. When your design is complete we’ll e-mail you
an electronic file with a design letter. If desired, a hard copy can be prepared and ready to be
picked up or overnighted if needed.
Framing Design
Deliver your plan at our office, mail it, or email a CAD drawing to submit@anm-eng.com.
Framing system will depend on builder's and /or architect's preference and the ease of construction. We currently have a 5 -10 days turnaround. When your design is complete we’ll
e-mail you an electronic file with a design letter. If desired, a hard copy can be prepared and ready to be picked up or overnighted if needed.
