Ron247 replied to the thread Staggered Stud Wall LTB.In the formula (that I am not familiar with), is higher S1 good or bad? S1 would increase for deeper studs if d=depth and b = thickness...

Ron247 replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.It is a good idea to tell them up front. A friend of mine in construction includes the tax in his price. If they say "Go ahead" real...

Ron247 replied to the thread 3-point bearing.Once you get contact at all points, it gets more uniform for additional loads, but prior to that, it is dependent on a lot of factors...

Depends on the stiffness of the thing bearing on the supports. Also the stiffness of the supports. It's easy to get full uniform...

@Ron247, I understand your concern now. I do agree there is some odd load transfer happening at various stages in the life of shims and...

Ron247 replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.I agree, that is one of several reasonable and likely outcomes. I do not know about everyone else, but this deck is a first for me...

Ron247 replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.True, many I have looked at were not visible in the first place. Already grouted, or slab poured over them. I am just looking at the...

Ron247 replied to the thread Crazy cantilevered steel deck.The location of the shim sets the moment arm length. Shims at the outer edge of the compression side can be removed easier than the...

It's an unanswerable question. At best you could answer "Maybe". There's no possible way to convince the client that there's zero...
