Pipe Support Freestanding Column
Pipe Support Freestanding Column
(OP)
Ok so here goes
When we use staad it automatically sets the column as k=1, so i change it to 2.1, however I've heard of some engineers using the pipe as a lateral brace assuming that there would be some kind of translation fixidity, but theres an issue with that. You can't assume full fixidity, theres no way. How are you guys setting this up?

RE: Pipe Support Freestanding Column
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
