    Truss Top Chord Lateral Support

    If you have transverse floor beams you can use those as well. If your deck isn't attached to the compression members then you may want to consider compression bracing. Appendix 6 of AISC LRFD goes over it and it's pretty straight forward. For linear consideration, unless your web members are...

    Explanation for 8/9 in H1-1A

    Δδ Currently reviewing a design where the intention is to use section H of the AISC for verification. The issue I have is that while i'm familiar with the equation itself (H1-1A), I can't understand exactly why the factor 8/9 is used. If there is a reference to how this number is derived...

    House Review - Site Visit without report?

    I really appreciate all the responses. Part of the reason I signed up to this site was because using reddit as a forum is extremely difficult when there are so many non-engineers who can participate and almost everyone seems to have a mindset of doom and gloom. That said, being aware of...

    How to fix this?

    Sorry if it's been mentioned already. Can you just ask them shore up the end about a 1' or so out then just add some angles with a leg to reach out to your 2x10. Simpson has them as well so it shouldn't be too crazy either finding something with a close enough load rating.

    Artificial Intelligence in Structural Engineering

    For me it's about a 90/10 mix of glorified search / bouncing ideas off of it. "It" here being any "AI" or at least tool that can come up with some means of doing what I ask of it. Say I want to write a module in VBA or create a new notebook to organize ideas in Notion or ask what would be needed...

    Clarification about moment formula for EN 1993-1-8

    Thank you, I was making the mistake of assuming point loads centered on the plates. If anyone seeing this runs into the same issue confusing themselves, here's a convenient bending moment diagram I found online from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143974X22006228

    Clarification about moment formula for EN 1993-1-8

    I'm designing a pin connection where there will be a large clearance between the inner and outer plates to accomodate movement. However, it's now being solely controlled by the pin bending given the distance between supports (outside edges of outer plates). This is because the clearance between...
