@JedClampett , do you have any contact info that you can share with me? I'm in a similar situation, and I have been calling a few USACE district offices, Engineer Research and Development Center, etc. and they keep telling me that they haven't hear about the program. I don't know what else to...- cucu101

magnitude of a springs stiffness
@JoshPlumSE, do you know of any place where I can find more info on how to understand/use/incorporate springs into my structural models. I have tried the Risa support webpage even here at eng-tips. but honestly I'm still confused. Thanks- cucu101

magnitude of a springs stiffness
Greetings all! May be this is something basic... but I feel like I'm drowning in an empty pool. My current problem is that usually when I use structural analysis software's like Risa, RAM elements, etc. I have never had to use a spring as my support/boundary condition, and just recently I was...- cucu101

Roof Slopes and Wind Speeds
Greetings guys, I was wondering, If I have a roof w/ multiples slopes (eg; 6/12; 4/12; 1/12), which slope will have a greater impact on my wind design( which one will control my wind design). I would say the one with the lower slope will control for uplift, but, what can you all tell me from...- cucu101

Effect of wind loads on beams
the thing is that the C&C or wall studs are attached directly to the underside of the beam and they have a reaction of 384# @ 16 O.C. which I consider it's kind of high for a 25' span beam and I was wondering what kind of method I should use in order to analyze the beam for failure by lateral...- cucu101

Effect of wind loads on beams
Hello Fellas! I'm sorry I'm asking this kind of question but I'm new to STRL engineering field. The thing is, if we are designing, and wind load controls once I factored my loads how is the wind load changed from a lateral to a vertical load?? or what is it that happens during the factoring...- cucu101
