Thanks BridgeSmith, and MegaStructures for your insight! Considering the bending of the plate and lumber about the point of application of the load would mean treating it as if it were simply supported? Thanks, NJ

Hi BridgeSmith, Thanks for your information regarding this. You're correct about Fy for steel, I should have written Fb for timber. The 2x12 is on a soft surface, the ground with a bearing capacity of 150kpa.

Hi everyone, I have a scenario where a plate is bearing on a 2x12 lumber. I am analyzing the bending in the bottom timber as a cantilever from the edge of the plate. The bending resistance of the timber is Mr = Material Factor * S * Fy My question is what I should use for the section modulus...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a clause in the CSA S16-14 code. I am designing some anchor rods and baseplate for a column. Clause 25.3.5 States that the anchor rods must meet clause 13.9.1 requirement where the moment resistance of the anchor rods is MR = θAR*S*Fy. Clause 13.9.1 is...

Hello everyone, Thank you all very much for your responses. Very well explained and detailed, you have helped me greatly!

Good day to all, I have this weld that I am trying to analyze. I understand that it may be somewhat ugly and inefficient, but I am in a position in which I still need to calculate this. The only reason I am considering this spec is because the load on the end of this beam is very very small...
