Is there any body who has any experience in designing embeded shear plate with welded side plates to sustain heavy shear load on column base. I have design experience for shear lug, but I couldn't find any example for the mensioned one. I don't want to use shear lug for column base seeing shear...
First thanks for all your replies.
The problem of using steel system not specifically detailed for seismic in my case is having a very heavy uplift load on certain areas around 500kips. It is such a large load to be taken by anchor bolts at these column location. I am using SCBF and I am not...
Thanks guys for your responces. I am designing my building for R value of 6 which is SCBF and satisfy criteria of Seismic Provisions for structural Buildings. I managed to fulfill my demand by doing this. But I have to detail a couple of typical connections. It is a bit time consuming but it...
The seismic zone is B and soil class of C. How do you think I can check the distribution of shear load on the shear wall other than based on their relative stiffness?
Thanks
I am designing 6 story building using ram structural system. My building is rectangular and satisfies the rigid diaphragm criteria. I am using braced frame and shear wall for lateral load resistance. 90% of the system is braced frame and I used service elevator shaft to the very right of the...
