    Mobile App

    I meant to write: sqrt(5 W/2 Ohms) = 1.58 A Sorry guys. SMath doesn't have that capability on the mobile version does it?

    Mobile App

    Is anyone familiar of a mobile app that can do operations with common engineering units? For example doing something like this would be great: sqrt(5 W/5 Ohms) = 1.58 A

    Shear Lag in Moment Connection

    Its just a quick sketch I made. The welds run along the top and bottom flanges of the channel, as well as down the web. Its welded all around. My concern is that the end of the flange are not connected to anything and would therefore result is shear lag under bending. How would I check the...

    Shear Lag in Moment Connection

    I have cantilever beam to column moment connection. The column is square HSS, the beam is MC. The channel is welded to the side face of the column by two longitudional welds at the edges of the web. I was wondering how to check if shear lag would be a concern for this connection, since the ends...

    Anchor Minimum Embedment Depth

    It's a boiler foundation. 12d would give me a 12" depth. considering breakout and pry out, I only need a couple of inches since the load is so low. Is 12" really necessary?

    Anchor Minimum Embedment Depth

    Using cast in place bolts, in conrete (4000psi). The shear loads themselves are low (5kip / bolt), no tension. The bolt size was specified by the equipment supplier, but the depth is up to us. Obviosly you dont need much depth to resist the load, but I am curios if there is such a thing is a...

    Anchor Minimum Embedment Depth

    Is there a guide to minimum embedment depth for anchors? I have 1" anchors that are only used to resist shear with no tension (equipment support on slide plates). What should I use for embedment depth?

    European Steel Grade

    I am unfamiliar with the use of international steel grades. For example can we a European steel grade in the states or does it have to comply to American steel grades?

    API 650

    I want to use the structural seismic forces for foundation design that are specified in Appendix E of API 650 for tanks. For the project they have specified the use of CSA B.51 and ASME Sec. VIII. Was wondering if I could justify using API 650.
