    Gap Between Vertical Steel Plate and Concrete Wall

    We have a vertical steel plate connected to a concrete wall by mechanical anchor bolts with a gap of about 2cm between the steel plate and the concrete. The gap was not accounted for during design. Is there a structurally sound way to seal this gap (for example: non shrinkable structural grout)?

    Wind loads on Skylight

    Hi, Can anyone answer my question regarding load cases for negative and positive pressures? Thank you

    Wind loads on Skylight

    Ron, I have done the analysis with treating the skylight as a dome roof. However, my previous questions still stands. Do I consider that faces of the skylight under negative pressures as one loading case, while the second case being positive pressures on all faces of the skylight as...

    Wind loads on Skylight

    Thanks for your input guys. Much appreciated JedClampett, I am doing the skylight analysis on Robot Structural Analysis, which has a wind simulation tool. I have used this tool but the pressures generated were a lot lower than expected. Anyway, I have done the analysis for the skylight...

    Wind loads on Skylight

    Hello, I need to find out the wind loads an aluminium framed skylight in the shape of a hexagonal pyramid. I would like to know which parts of the ACSE code deals with this shape of structures so that I can figure out the external and internal pressure coefficients for each face at any wind...

    Large Steel Plate Analysis

    Guys, I am currently discussing with the client why they need a plate of these dimensions (as it was originally provided by them), and whether or not this size a structural requirement. I will post my discussion outcome as soon as possible. Thanks all for your contribution.

    Large Steel Plate Analysis

    canwesteng I am tackling one problem at a time. I will definitely need to check the concrete and soil, but at this stage I need to design the steel plate and determine its thickness assuming the concrete and soil are fine. Thanks for your input.

    Large Steel Plate Analysis

    Thanks for your replies guys. At this stage, I am not concerned about the concrete and soil beneath the steel plate (will look into them later). I have attached a sketch of plate configuration as well as a free body diagram of the plate, which illustrates how I am planning to model the plate...

    Large Steel Plate Analysis

    Hello, I need to design a steel plate to distribute an axial point load coming down from a lifting jack onto a concrete floor. The steel plate is 7m in length, and 1.5m in width. The total load from the lifting jack is 400kN. The contact area between the steel plate and lifting jack is...

    Curtain Wall Analysis in SAP2000

    Hello, I am new to SAP2000, and trying to analyse an aluminium curtain wall with glass infill panels. I have often modelled curtain walls in Robot Autodesk Structural Analysis, and had no problem with that. To model the curtain wall in SAP2000, I have done the following: 1. Defined and drew...
