A short column is said to depend on material strength only. But you know deflection still occurs. It may be negligible, but I'm computing the corresponding strain of concrete at mid-height with respect to the upper and lower region. If concrete fails at a strain of 0.003 at mid-height. What...
Client wants me to design an aluminum canopy that extends 35 inches outward from the sides of a flat boring looking house with solid canopy surface above and below (meaning no truss support can be seen outside it). My initial option is to screw angle bar to the concrete beam and extend it with...
