The weight of the L178x102x9.5 (SW=0.198kN/m) spaced at 610mm is 0.65kPa alone, add to it the weight of wood deck, and railing system distributed over the whole deck(just to simplify) you'll get significantly more then DL=0.5kPa and I am pretty sure balconies are LL=4.8kPa
So no, it doesn't...
I've run the calculations with Canadian code and for tilted solar panels your wind uplift will be hefty. The blast system ended up being large which adds a tons(literally) on the roof. 0.9DL+1.4W
Then 1.25DL+1.5SN really messed up the roof.
So careful...
I am located in Canada and abide by OBC additionally follow the Canadian-Foundation-Engineering-Manual if that matters.
I want to know what the "right" approach is to converting ASD bearing capacity to LRFD so that I can put it on a report/drawings.
Approach 1: and commonly used from my...
Thank you human909 I think that's what I was missing. The joint classification stiffness shouldn't change and I guess it doesn't no matter how long the beam is, but based on the length the AISC classification would change.
It makes me feel a bit better that this is indeed more complicated then I initially assumed.
My situation is it’s steel columns with a concrete beam between. This means all the rigid connections doesn’t apply or isn’t as simple as a fillet weld.
The steel “column” is a W460x144 (W18x97) pile...
How to calculate the Rotational Stiffness of a Joint?
Background: I have gotten myself very confused as I try to do what seemed pretty simple. I have a model consisting of 2 cantilevers fix connected and a pin-pin beam between them. The structure was failing lateral drift so I introduced a...
This is one of those situations, where you pull up a reliable reference (usually a textbook) and start to read form the beginning of the chapter. It will take you a while, it will be tedious, you will need to do this both at work and outside of work (depends on when you need to respond by) and...
Great, I like that eveyone is on the same page :). Breakout needs to be checked so it shall be (y)
Yes loads a huge, one anchor isn't going to do it. I am designing a Shear Lug, but it has the same checks as single anchor so that's why the snippet applys.
I've had this question for a while does breakout failure exist when you have a cold joint between 2 different concrete pours?
In my case there is a column getting placed close to the edge of the raft slab with some serious force. I wondering about both Perpendicular and Parallel breakout but I...
I would say obviously yes.
Take a step back from the code and just look at it from a public point of view. You are EOR and the loads that the building takes need to be taken into the ground, for that to happen it need to go through your foundation design.
From a business point of view, if this...
I see, I didn't notice the rotation. It makes sense now, would have been helpful to include a couple extra steps, but here they are for anyone else wondering in the future.
I have a arch steel beam very similar to the example attached from page 292 of 7th ed Textbook by Roark's ... The example says "To obtain the rotation of the arch at the point of attachment of the bar, we first calculate the loads on the portion to the right of the loading and then establish an...
Thank you for your suggestions! I spent some time reviewing the new material.
I couldn't find the books on Google or Amazon though:
- Bridge Engineering by David F. Merritt
- Design of Cable-Stayed Bridges by J. A. H. van der Meer
Looking to expand my knowledge, I have never designed bridges and am looking to learn. I am interested in the design and sizing of the cables that support the bridge.
Does anyone have textbooks, manuals, or resources with design examples for suspension bridges?
I have looked at the following...
Thank you, it all clicked once I read chapter 8. I was stuck for multiple days with this.
I would appreciate your work, but I'll post my file instead for anyone wondering in the future. And also post the snippet from the textbook chapter 8 explaining.
I put a simply "=if(" function at the...
