I am looking for some guidance on how to determine the tensile loads carried by sag rods in structural steel buildings.
The situation that I’m dealing with is common - a frame in a structural steel building with horizontal wall girts spanning from column to column to support the weight of the...
I am analyzing the attached detail. It is a cantilevered beam that is supporting the guide rail system for the roof of a structural steel building. As you can see, the cantilevered beam is connected to a perimeter beam of the building. This perimeter beam runs parallel to the open web steel...
Hello,
I am working on a residential project for a client that currently has a 24’ x 30’ garage. The garage is in good condition, and he would like to add an addition. He would like to remove half of the existing garage, and to the remaining 12’ x 30’ section – add a new addition.
The new...
Hi Everyone,
I am an engineer in training and I have a quick question regarding lateral bracing for structural steel buildings.
I am currently working on the design of a standard one-storey structural steel building (square geometry, retail store). The front wall of the building is almost...
Hi everyone,
Question from a young engineer in training from Canada – can a symmetrical hollow section (square in my case) undergo lateral torsional buckling? Do the out-of-plane stability design checks for beam-columns apply to symmetrical hollow sections?
I am working on the design of an...
Hi everyone,
I'm an engineer in training from Canada that has been working in the design / analysis of buildings for 1 year now and I am new to this forum.
I am currently working on the design of a very standard one-storey structural steel building (80' x 120' retail store, 14' column height)...
