    ASCE 7 canopy snow load

    Hi all Does ASCE7-16 allow reduction of drifted snow on sloped canopies, As far as I know, the drifted snow load is the same for flat and sloped canopies. Regards

    Lumped Plasticity hinge stiffness

    Hi all For lumped plasticity model of a column or a beam the plastic hinge stiffness is 6EI/L (assuming double curvature). My question is how to derive this equation? and what is the stiffness for a singe curvature (cantilever)? Thanks

    FEMA 273

    Hi all In fema 273 and ASCE 41, the modelling parameters and acceptance criteria of concrete flexure members are given as rotations. I do not know what is meant by rotation. is it the rotation of the plastic hinge or the chord rotation of members (Drift/L).

    Beginner Question

    Actually I will be modelling concrete, and I know models for concrete are available in ANSYS. but I will be using different stress strain relations for the sake of research.

    Beginner Question

    Hi all I am planing to use ANSYS for my research. Before I begin I need to know whether it is possible in ANSYS to change the Script? In other words I need to create a new material with specific stress-strain relationship , is that possible in ANSYS? Thanks

    loss of tension in post tensioned beam

    Hi What are the symptoms of tension loss of post tensioned beams. I have several beams to be checked for tension loss. in one of them there is a horizontal crack in the web, is this one of the symptoms of tension loss. Thanks

    analysis of beams

    It is clear that torsion is different from negative moment , what I meant is that the negative moment in the secondary beam caused by the torsion in the main beams , any way thank you all for your help.

    analysis of beams

    I am using staad for the analysis and it is a single span beam , I thought of releasing torsion at the ends, but in reality the beams are cast together.

    analysis of beams

    After analyzing a concrete roof slab , some of what appear as simply supported beams ( single span beam supported at ends by main beams ) the negative moments were much higher than the mid span moment ) , That happen because all connections between beams were assumed to be rigid , shall...

    Concrete beam expansion joint

    I am designing foundations and concrete ground beam for a pre-fabricated steel structure ( single story 40m x120m), the beam is 0.6m high and should support a hollow block cement wall, 3m high , the upper 0.2m of the beam is above ground level my question is about the expansion joint , the...

    column starter bars

    In a reinforced concrete buildings project, the contractor casted about 150 foundations with 6 ?14mm starter bars for the columns, at a later stage it was found that the reinforcement in some columns has to increased to 6 ?16mm, the first proposition was to add dowels by drilling and epoxy, then...

    reinforcement connected to earthing cable

    Hello all In a reinforced concrete structure, is it ok to connect earthing cable to the foundation reinforcement, I think this will induce electrochemical corrosion; I looked through ACI222r and found nothing in regard. .
