...to make sure tensile rupture is OK. If you haven't already, I'd recommend studying the Martinez-Saucedo and Packer paper (ref in the link above). I *think* their Eq. 5 applies for smaller Lw/D. Here's where it gets a little tricky for me. Your seal says you designed per the Specification...

Or intermittent welds? I've done that before.

Assuming Fu = 65 ksi and a 7/16 in. slot width. With 6 in. long welds, I'm getting a tensile rupture design strength of 176 kips. That's a pretty good margin, with Ru/phiRn = 0.568. I'd still recommend not going with a length < 10 in. due to the problems described below. (If the tensile load...

That's not how this is typically done in AISC. If the connected part has a significant tension, it's checked for tensile rupture. That requires the effective area, Ae, to be determined, which requires the shear lag factor, U, for a case like this. If the connection had 140k compression and 10...

A W18x35 has Ix = 510 in.^4. That is a lot of mm^4 and a tiny number of m^4 ! With USC units, I need scientific notation about twice a year. Lol

I switched to sync.com also. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm the only person here, so I am the IT/cybersecurity department for my operation. It bugged me that DropBox (same with Google and MS) are not end-to-end encrypted and zero-knowledge -- like sync.com is. I'm not exactly going drug deals...

I used Dropbox until a couple of years ago. It worked fine. I switched to a end-to-end encrypted cloud. I find OneDrive to be pretty irritating.

Contact Kinetics Noise Control and see if they have any ideas. Spring isolators at the unit will probably be the answer.

That was my first thought. If the potentially notched beam is strong enough, I might go for it. Deflection might still be ok or close to ok with only a door sized segment with reduced EI.

Those 2x6 posts will look ridiculous, like an accident. And that's if they're perfectly straight, not with some sweep like others have mentioned above.

https://www.pestamps.com/ These guys are awesome. The other day, I needed JPG seal and they sent it in under an hour.

My concern is for the long term state of technical knowledge in the profession. For decades, firms have employed and developed a lot of new guys. That's a big part of how knowledge is spread down the line. There's probably a critical amount of new blood that's required to keep the profession...

What's "it"? Several programs have been mentioned. LOL

That's part of it. See below.

Deleted. Sorry, spoke too soon.

Stick, Thanks so much for helping with the default math format. I have a custom template, so that issue is totally fixed. 271828

I tried Maple Flow about 18 months ago. I really wanted to like it, but gave up after the free trial period. It was a very primitive attempt at being Mathcad. Lots of operations took many more keystrokes and mouse clicks than MC does, which is saying something because MC isn't super great at...

...and non-descriptive. I don't think there's any way to change the default math output. For example, if I compute a value of 1750, it show up as 1.75*10^3. I select a result and change it to decimal, and then change the number of digits literally dozens of times per day. Allowing us to set a...

I've been using MC prime a lot for the last 18 months. In general, I like it, and use it a lot. Biggest gripe: no way to see the same sheet in a split screen or multiple windows. Utterly f'ing ridiculous in 2025. Second biggest gripe: The keyboard shortcut for subscript went from . to Ctrl -...

I tried Maple Flow. It is a faint shadow of Mathcad. I really wanted to like it.
