    Programming Shear and Moment Diagrams

    I wrote some software in Python that basically analyzes any beam that the user enters and determines support reactions/deflections. I accomplish this using stiffness matrices. However now I want to be able to draw the shear, moment, and deflection diagrams for the same beam. I could probably...

    Load Distribution Theory

    Hi all, When modeling uniformly applied gravity loads to a structure, engineers often distribute them based upon tributary area. However, I have been thinking, whats the theory behind this? Wouldn't a steel deck behave as a flexural member and distribute load to supporting members via beam...

    Laced Column Design

    Hi everyone. I am in the process of designing a laced column system for a new bldg. The new bldg houses a magnet crane, and we are to follow TR13 requirements for the design of its support. I have available to me AISC DG7, AISE TR13, and ASCE "Structural Design of Industrial Buildings", all of...

    PEMB Thrust - Shear Breakout

    Hi all, Let's say we have a PEMB structure with large kickout forces at the base of each rigid frame. These rigid frames are supported on column pedestals and isolated footings (non-moment resisting). If this is the case, it seems we have (2) ways to resist the kickout forces, either hairpins...

    Recycled Crushed Concrete

    Hi all, This is my first post so go easy. I am involved with a project currently in which we are placing a large truck dock at a facility which lies in a flood plain. The soil conditions here are poor...lots of soft spots and generally weak soil. I can provide more info if needed. The adjacent...
