Hi guys
I have beam (beam 2) bolted to the underside of beam 1. Beam 1 is welded to a 30 mm plate which has 10 bolts (5 on either side) anchored into the rock above. The shear fore (V) is eccentric to the centroid of the bolt group, so it would put some bolts in tension. But i'm not worried...
Hi, what direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) are the positive and negative bending moment values found in the results tables. Results are based on the global axes.
Hi, I just want to verify my stress results in my plate segments in Strand7 using Roark's formula. Should I use the surface (either -Z or +Z in terms of the plate's local axes. In this case the top of the plate is the -Z surface), or mid surface calculated stresses. So you would have either a...
Hey guys
So for example, if I have a 6m I-beam (beam 1) with a depth of 200mm (not including the flange thickness here) and I connect an adjacent beam (beam 2) with a full depth of 175mm to the center of the web of beam 1 at mid span, how effective would beam 2 be in reducing the laterally...
Hi all
In case 1, both members are in compression. In case 2, both members are in tension.
What would the effective lengths in respect of the angle's principal axes be (Lz = minor axis and Lv = major axis) for the following single angle x-brace connection?:
Thank you
Hi guys, need some help on determining the effective throat thickness for the weld below (double bevel groove weld). I assumed the eff throat thickness to be similar to how you calculate it for a fillet weld. Pink area is the weld.
Hi guys
I have an angle section welded to an end plate which is bolted to a steel beam below (Bolts are centred on the plate). Unfortunately, due to geometric constraints, this is the layout I have to work with.
How would you go about determining the bending capacity of the plate. From...
Hi guys
I have an equal angle cantilever as shown in the diagram. It is subjected to a lateral (Vu) and compression force (Pu). I'm using the AISC design code for bending calculations. Will my applied moment (Mu) due to the lateral force be about the major principal axis, minor principal axis...
I have to join two steel beams together and they are both parallel to each other. It's a Channel and an I section of the same depth. The idea is to use plates between the two beams to join them,so that two beams behave as one composite beam.
Any idea on how many connections/joins between the...
