Hello, I'm new to Inventor. I would like to know if there is a slick way to perform the following:
Say you are casting a pipe in concrete. I would like to create an assembly of a concrete part and a pipe where the assembly automatically removes the material within the outer boundaries of the...
In college one of us had the bright idea to reinforce our concrete canoe with aluminum mesh. Want to see a fast reaction just add water! Our canoe turned to mush before we could finish racing it.
Can you make a test panel and push it. Then compare the shear with published results? A wood test panel would not be that expensive. The test equipment will be the most costly. Try a local state university. A program that only offers 4 year degrees may be more reasonable than a research...
I agree with mike, go for the diaphragm first, then check knee braces (although they are really only practical for a few hundred pounds)
If that fails, I would go to a square post HSS 3.5x3.5 with a 2x6 nailer bolted to each side.
Then have them attach non-structural 1x rough sawn to make...
PT slabs are usually designed for serviceability. It is likely if you can perform a Yield line or some other upper bound analysis, you will discover a significant amount of reserve capacity.
However, what you are missing is the significant amount of creep and long term deflection that will...
Out of plane:
SEAOC produced a publication offering guidance on slender wall design around 1980. This is the basis for the out of plane analysis used in the 1997 UBC and ACI 318. Although, the UBC and ACI made some rather coarse simplifications. This is a good proven method for design of...
Technically, yes CBC1633.2.6 offers an exception for structures or portions thereof, braced entirely by light frame wood shearwalls... you may ignore the overstrength factor. I would interpret that to require Omega on any shear line with a steel moment Frame but not the rest of the structure...
