Hi
does anyone know how to specift spring stiffness to a compression only support? I know that a frictionless or frictional contact can be used, but the problem is the stiffness associated with these type contacts is not a real spring stiffness, just a relative value to allow for some...
Hi every body,
I faced a rather rare problem of an H-Beam under torsional moment togehter with bending and shearing force. The designer seemingly designed it to resist against flexure and shear, as maximum nominal shear stress in the web is 0.38Fy, very close to the maximum alloeable 0.4Fy. A...
Gentlemen!
I have problem when inserting a CAD drawing into a Microsoft word document. Either I do it with Insert Object menues or by copy clipboard and paste method, the properties of the lines,i.e. their thickness is lost. Even worse, the dimensions are not correctly transfered into the word...
It is customary to set extra reinforcing meshes for industrial foundations with depths more than, say, 1.5m(5ft). However only bottom mesh reinforcement in most cases is enough and sometimes even superfluous for carrying the bending moment. Is there any design or practice code to set these...
To all,
Cranes are conventionally manufatured with a camber. Some of the crane design codes as CMAA70 give direct regulation for the calculation of the magnitude of this camber,i.e. dead plus half capacity deflection. Others as UK design code don't mention it and some others, like FEM, have...
