azcats replied to the thread Moment Frame on Asphalt / Wheels?.I'd be interested in seeing how my structure reacted/deflected with the roller assumption and how much thrust it was actually resisting...

azcats replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.Yes. 25 each. I ignored that tapered plate and put a single angle each end. I think that's how it was framed.

azcats replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.100% on this. There's a lot of other flex in this system. Wonder if it's significant enough for fatigue to start cracking welds.

azcats replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.I left everything fixed. The big reaction is about 25 kip-ft (ASD). Thrust force of about 6 kips. Some other weird internal...

azcats replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.Wonder if the center has more or less flex than the ends? IE, how torsionally stiff is that 12 x 4 HSS? Maybe the small HSS at the end...
