Pin-connected Member Design - Canadian Codes
Pin-connected Member Design - Canadian Codes
(OP)
I need some help from my Canadian engineering friends...
I've designed a lifting lug for a modular building using AISC Section D5 Pin-Connected Members to check the actual lug part of the assembly, but now my client is going to use an identical modular building in Canada, and I have to follow Canadian codes for the design. My client's customer (Canadian company) will be reviewing the design, so I have to follow their standards. We have purchased every Canadian code we know to purchase, but I can't find a comparable design methodology anywhere. Does anyone know where guidance for this type of design would be found?
Thanks in advance!

As far as presentation of calculations, Canadian codes recognize LSD (Limit States Design) so if you have used ASD, you will have to redo it in LSD. Probably CSA S16.1 would apply to your situation.
