    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    Unfortunately no! We dont do that kind of coding. Actually it's a Design Automation we are working on. Thank you for your advice. Please do sketch up when you are free.

    engineering salaries

    If you are really looking for money and also because you are good at finance, I say after attaining some experience as an engineer, say some 6-7 years, go for a business school and try getting a job in the Engineering field after your business course, where you can work at management level while...

    shearing of material

    I did solve a problem like this in past. My calculations were fro fillet weld. I have calculated it with respect to the fillet size and area required to be welded.

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    jayrod12, my only concern as of now is solving for the reactional forces while considering the horizontal force due to wind.

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    @ukbridge, I am supposed to code these mechanical equations and unfortunately, equations obtained from FE model analysis does not fit into my code. Thank you

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    This is a service limit condition. I real time, will have to consider horizontal force due to wind and seismic analysis is also needed! so I guess, it will be a little more than just vertical loads, isn't it?

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    I have attached a link along with the post. Please do check. Here is the link: http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=221fb92d-c232-46b2-8d37-c7 That is my exact situations while viewing the tower from front.

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    @jayrod12 , thank you for the suggestion. considering it as a pin joint still leaves me with four unknown reactions. Which means my structure is not yet a determinate one! Is there any other way out of this?

    Solving for reactional forces in a Tower

    I have Tower Assembly, it has four columns and cross Bracings. As the columns of the Tower are fixed at the bottom, I was wondering if the assembly can be considered as a Statically indeterminate structure. If so, being a Mechanical Engineer I am clueless about how to solve for the reactions...
