Restraint Type - Partial or Lateral
Restraint Type - Partial or Lateral
(OP)
Hi, first post!
I'm wondering how to input the steel design data for a beam in a problem i'm solving in Space GASS.
If you see the attached image, the grey beam is a fabricated FB700, the red beams are B6b's and the blue ones are T6a's.
I want to input the data for the grey beam. So when taking the red beams influence into account as intermediate restraints, would I count the as partial or lateral? Or any other support type?
The red beams are fully welded to the grey beam.
Thanks

Your question is a great indicator of the uselessness of graphics if no story is told. A hand drawn sketch might have been more informative.
