KootK's latest activity

It's been a while since I've done something like this but my recollection is that the AISC procedures account for that as something like...

Yes, I picked up on that. And that's wonderful. It warms my heart to see someone mounting a spirited defense of the metal plate...

I have some measure of sympathy for that approach at the truss bearing (bottom). I would argue that it is not a rational approach at...

So you do not trust the moment connection shown below then? I've not shown any eccentricities but acknowledge their presence. In this...

To be clear, I do not object to the use of blocking as rotational member restraint for shallow depth members like 2x framing, TJI, etc...

Hell yes, count me in. In my opinion, OP's lose ownership of their threads as conversations evolve. @struct_eeyore has been well...

It certainly raises my hackles a bit. I would like to see the layout that includes these trusses. Sort of? In these situations, a...

You have a lot of options. Perhaps something like this? or a field-welded similar option? Running the W12 continuous over the column is...

You could add cover plates. That would be fairly simple if those plates could fit between your existing bolts. If not, you might have...

You could do something similar to the detail below if that would be permissible spatially and te bolts would work in the existing plates.

Are we talking about steel plate bolted to the slab? I'm surprised that would be architecturally palatable, especially on the back span...

If all load paths to the foundation wall must pass through the connection between the ledger and the rim, then I like hangers. Ideally...

I'm sure that's fine too. Unlikely to cause a shear or bearing problem for the supported beam I'm sure Better than mine on uplift.

Maybe a 614 accepting that you'll be nominally outside of Simpson's intended use case If you have uplift, that complicates matters...

KootK, I doubt you have ever rubber stamped anything. Based on your previous posts, you probably investigated the first project...
