    Allowable Stresses for Building Type Structures - Tension in Round Sections

    Aesur, another question related to 3.4.13 - the slenderness calculation uses depth and thickness. With a rod column, I understand how I would calculate the slenderness ratio but in this instance, is a 1" round bar "beam" for example treated the same way as a 1"x1" square "beam"? (d/t *...

    Slenderness Ratio of Aluminum Beams

    As a mechanical engineer who is involved with various weldments and other fabrications in steel and aluminum, I find it unusual to perform slenderness calculations on beams involved in bending. This may be very elementary to those in the structural engineering field but in my experience the...

    Allowable Stresses for Building Type Structures - Tension in Round Sections

    Thanks - sounds good. I am a mechanical engineer who is often involved in the structural side of things in both steel and aluminum - generally I would apply the basic bending and shear calculations (generally use the same allowable for tension and compression) to the beam with appropriate...

    Allowable Stresses for Building Type Structures - Tension in Round Sections

    I am referring to aluminum rod and I would guess that 3.4.3 refers to round tube and not rod? (I see the round sections listed explicitly for compression in 3.4.13.) I must be missing something as I do not understand why I don't see the round rod allowable stress for bending in beams. Any...

    Allowable Stresses for Building Type Structures - Tension in Round Sections

    When using the ADM 2005, section VII, tables 2-2 to 2-26, why is there not a row for tension (extreme fiber) for round sections?

    Expanded Metal (ie. 3/4"-9R)

    thread507-125753 Hi, I was doing a search for expanded metal strength and deflection tables and came across the above thread. I know it is old but I believe the Op was mistaken in his assumption of what the naming convention means for expanded metal. I believe he should be using a 1.8#...
