    Fillet-butt weld symbol

    Thanks Mike, If i could change type of weld i would do the same what you wrote or only butt weld around joint. But I can't change anything in this connection so I need to figure out how to symbol that kind of weld in drawings. Weld should be fillet- butt with smooth transition. Any suggestions?

    Fillet-butt weld symbol

    Hey, I can't find any info how should be shown fillet-butt weld around CHS joint in drawings? I've attached picture. At crown toe and heel is fillet weld and at saddle butt weld. Transition between welds continuous and smooth. Any suggestions? Sorry for my English. Looking forward

    CHS class 4

    Hey everyone, I'm searching info about CHS class 4 element design by EC 3. I want to design steel tower as class 4 section element. Articles, books ...? Thanks.

    Loads direction on tower top

    It is not followup to my earlier question. This is question about aerodynamic response of wind turbines head.

    Loads direction on tower top

    Hi all I can't get why aerodynamic load My on tower top in load case Nr.2 is with minus symbol? Wind blows in X direction. I understand that those extreme loads is from simulation, but I'm interested how it could be? Hope I wrote understandable. I have to design offshore turbine support...

    Wave, sea state and wind speed by DNV

    Hi, for someone my questions will be stupid, but i cant get it by myself so i need help. I have measurement data: wind speed( from 1-23m/s) and it corresponding mean seasonal wave's height. Is it possible to get significant wave height? That I could use for offshore structures load cases. Sorry...

    Bending moment on top of the tower (tubular shell structure)

    Sorry for double post. In sketch you see tower's top. I need to put on this top of tower Mx=1.6e+6 bending moment. Radius=5.5m, wall thickness=0.05m. Maybe now it will be understandable. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5b9cc995-4772-41b1-a919-a70c1d62271c&file=Tower_top_sketch.JPG

    Bending moment on top of the tower (tubular shell structure)

    Thanks for post, I'm using Robot Pro. I already did that what you said, but i have problem. I only can put linear load(kN/m) on the edge of tubular structure, so how i can transfer bending stress(MPa) to linear load(kN/m) on the edge? I'll hope you understand.

    Bending moment on top of the tower (tubular shell structure)

    Hi, i have 50m height tubular structures which is made from shell elements. I need to put bending moment on top of this tower. How can i do this, to get same results as if tower would be simple beam? I'm using Robot Pro. Sorry for bad english.
