Hi everyone. I am working on a steel member design problem and wanted to clarify my thought process for calculating the member forces. The member is a brace and there is a horizontal load P on it. The brace is pinned to the floor and is connected to another member via gusset plate. The load...
Hello, I was having some trouble with quantifying the friction for the scenario shown in the image where the beam is connected to an angle. As we apply the load, if the bolts are loosened, the beam should be free to slide against the angle below which is what I want. The bolts are snug tight...
