    I'm having real trouble with this! I have a basic combo box with a list of 7 items from a materials table, with a link to cell A7. I also have a vlookup function that pulls from a table coresponding to the value selected in cell A& (combo box). The thing is this: When I select a value from the...

    guardrail & post deflection

    Often, as the structural engineer of record, we have to check other Engineers calculations. e.g. guardrail and posts. I usually adopt a deflection limit of L/180, for the cantilevered post, but I cannot find a definite deflection limit in any code for posts and guardrails. Deflection limits...

    foundation wall tied to S.O.G.

    In our office, we usually like to tie the top of foundation walls to the slab on grade. We usually cast the slab over the foundation wall and add rebar dowels. Some Architects don’t like this detail because it conflicts with the energy code. They sometimes ask us if they can float the slab. i.e...

    calculation of masonry deflection??

    I have a reinforced masonry tower (10’-0” x 10-‘0”) within a building space (isolated from the building with expansion joints). How do I calculate the deflection of the tower due to seismic loads?? I want to ensure that when the tower deflects, that I have enough of an expansion joint between...

    How do I rotate a complete view??

    I use CAD 14). I have a drawing, two adjoined buildings. One of the buildings is orthogonal (in plan), the other building is skewed at 24 degrees to the vertical. TO work on the skewed building I have to go to UCS and pick "object" and click on a line rotated to the building skew, so...

    1957 steel beam strength??

    I have an old building to evaluate. Anyone know what was the strength of steel they used in 1957. I usually take an allowable of 20ksi, but I'm fairly close to the limit. Anyone??
