Good thing I have a perpetual license. I don't have a plan to migrate to MP7 yet since it's still lacking several features. Besides, I'm already used to using MC15 and making a subscript in MP7 requires too much effort. LOL. Just thinking if I should purchase/extend my maintenance for future...

Okay. That explains why there are some features in MC15 that I can't find in Prime. Thanks IRstuff.

This may be an option as well which I haven’t done before. Thanks stevenal. Maybe I’m just looking for a Mathcad 15 feature which I think should be the same with Mathcad Prime since Prime should be an “upgrade” of 15. I’m using Prime 7 btw.

Thanks fel3 and IRstuff. That's a good work-around for duplicate variables. Instead of defining a variable using :=, I will just type = to make sure that that variable hasn't been used previously. Thanks IRstuff. However, this work-around is good if you’re the one who made the template which...

Hi I need help regarding Mathcad Prime variable definitions. I've been using Mathcad 15 for a long time creating templates and stuff and I just recently thought of trying Mathcad Prime just for experience. In using Mathcad 15, when you define a variable which has been previously defined...

You may look into Design of Welded Structures by Blodgett for base plate design including stiffeners.

Hi trungce, I am not familiar with the interface of CsiCol but I assume that it will have same principle used by spColumn. The interaction diagram for biaxial bending is in 3d wherein 2 orthogonal planes are composed of interaction diagram for X- and Y-axis of the column cross-section. If...

For indeterminate structures, I'd go for matrix analysis since its general solution is more convenient for me.

Hi trungce, Have you tried checking the other angles of the interaction diagram? Based on the results you've sent, you may try looking to the interaction diagram at 36 deg. The capacity curves/surface of reinforced concrete columns subjected to biaxial bending is formed by a series of...

Thanks for your suggestion wannabeSE. I will inquire for alumni library access at my university. Whenever I'm in the mood to research/study for some topics, I'm hindered by the unavailability of such journals over the internet. At first, I was patient looking for these journals but I realized...

Thanks for the response. That was sad. I should've maximized my university access of ASCE journals when I was a grad student.

Hi, Are the journals in ASCE library free for download for members? I am thinking of applying for membership in ASCE just to have access to their vast references/journals. AISC provides free access to their journals for members. Hoping that ASCE would be the same. Thanks

Thanks for your insights rapt! Since I'm used to ACI code provisions (ACI 318 and 350), I've never thought that there are much complex provisions regarding crack width. Never too late to learn!

The result on crack width calculation (BS EN 1992-1-1 Sec. 7.3.4) will be compared to wmax given in Table 7.1N (in my case 0.3mm). Is this not enough? Where can I find the provisions stating maximum crack width instead of the average crack width?

Thanks rapt! I think it is more preferable to use the "exact" solution to compute crack width instead of developing envelope solutions to produce such tables. :)
