Hi Folks,
I have an existing structure which we are strengthening. The strengthening is to I shaped beams and columns. We intend to drill the existing sections and install haunch brackets and/or cover plates to the section flanges. These would be connected via appropriately sized HSFG (slip...
Hi folks,
Hoping someone has maybe come up against this issue before and knows of an elegant solution.
I am using STAAD Pro v8i for analysis and for various reasons need to extract, to Excel, the beam utilisations for every load case and every load combination. For those of you familiar with...
Is there any appetite here for bench-marking staff salaries in the UK? I am aware there are several websites that track this, but generally data is lacking or of unknown origin / accuracy. It's been awhile since I've shopped around and salaries don't generally seem to be advertised.
Please feel...
Hi,
First foray into the AISC design codes, specifically 360-05 at the moment. I see that Cb can be calculated for different load patterns and different restraint conditions, and Cb is then carried through into determination of the allowable moment in Chapter F2.2 (if LTB governs).

I am looking at potential repair options. The beam is on an offshore oil platform, so...
Hi,
Does anyone have experience calculating the length of plastic hinges in steelwork? I have a cantilevered 168.3x8CHS bollard / post, approx. 500mm high (L = 500), which is acting a bumper / bollard to prevent a small forklift truck impacting existing pipework. The design philosophy is that...
Hi everyone,
Been browsing for awhile (thanks for all the tips I've picked up anonymously!), but now it's time for my own question.
I am using AISC 360-05 for the design of a tee in flexure, as per Chapter F9.
I understand sections F9.1 and F9.2 but am having trouble confirming what F9.3...
