I am trying to size up a chequered plate cover over an opening to support udl and point / patch load that can be placed anywhere. In the UK I get safe working load capacity table from SCI steel construction Institute Blue Book which gives safe load table for udl only. The table is based on...
I am trying to learn and practise VBA coding. I am absolute beginner. I find most references and books written on this subject are written with financial people in mind and soon drop me in subjects like Pivot table etc which are not of my immediate interest. So I have given myself a very simple...
I am getting some calculations to check for portal frames with 'Wind moment Connection'. These are single storey portals spans about 6m. The beams are being designed as simply supported. The moment at beam-column connection is being taken as zero for dead and live load, but only wind load moment...

As I see from your sketch the vertical load of upper mullion and glass will be transferred from the upper mullion to the lower mullion through the sleeve. Is that your intention?
Once you have tightened the bolt in the slotted hole during erection, the silicon gap for expansion will be...
I attach a Code / Guidance Note on the subject of Slipstream effects from International Union of Railways.
Hope it is of use to you.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2190895c-8531-482b-8aab-b2ca9670072e&file=UIC_Code_on_Effects_of_slipstreams.pdf

I got a copy of this book by Godden.
Although this book looks easy to follow, at present I am trying hard to fathom out what is ' Step 6 , Nodal Concentration. How exactly the values in the row ( -20,-80) ( -100,-85) ( -100, -72) ( -76.5) worked out from the M / EI values. It is...
Many thanks BAretired and dhengr for the references.
I will also visit the library to look up another reference ' Numerical Procedure for computing deflections, moments and buckling loads. by Newmark Transactions ASCE Vol 108 1943.'
Looks it will be interesting trip.
BAretired,
I will appreciate if you can give me some references or examples ( books or articles ) where Newmark's Numerical Procedure has been used to solve structural engineering problems.
Some freely available information :
www.steelconstruction.info/Design
Then search for SCI P364
Steel Building Design Worked Example Open Section
There are many other useful design examples.
I have just started reading a bit about Fourier Series. I have been told this series has applications in Structural Engineering problems like Beam on Elastic Foundation, Dynamics, Buckling etc. All I have learnt so far is that by Fourier series you can break up a complicated periodic function...
The requirements for new-build masonry construction in the UK for 5 or more storeys were laid out in BS 5628-1 Clause 37.1 Table 12 etc.
These gave requirements for horizontal and vertical ties, key elements etc.
But what is the situation in an existing multi-storey masonry construction which...
Thats right. The amount of reinforcement can be calculated by either method. But using deep beam theory the reinforcement should be spread
in the whole of tension zone near the surface of the web rather than accommodate it on one or two layers in bottom only.
There requirements were written in...
Strength of fillet weld is calculated based on throat thickness x weld strength. Most works specifications mention that visible parts of the weld runs to be grinded without giving much detail. On a recent site visit I noticed that the weld has been grinded almost flush as shown in the attached...
