    Counting the number of items in a cell

    A simple question for you guys, I just don’t know how to enter this in formula. Say in a certain cell A1 containing numbers 1 15 25 4, the formula counts how many numbers contained in that cell A1. The formula should return 4 or in case the cell contains 15 2 8 10 100 59 then it should return 6...

    Pin or fix support?

    for a reinforced concrete piperack supported by isolated foundations and no tie beams, what is the best assumption to represent my foundations? will it be pinned or fixed support? is there a big difference between pin and fixed in terms of design forces on the structural members and foundations?

    3D Correct Modeling

    I have been designing 3D structures(by STAAD) for powerplant facilities(i.e. piperacks, shelters, etc.) and i usually designate a pinned support as long as theres a grade beam in it. some engineers i noticed, they model it using fixed support(even with the presence of grade beam) and others...

    Response spectrum analysis

    I was asked to do response spectrum analysis on a certain industrial related structure but i am not really sure of the exact/step by step procedures or solution of such problem. I have done some modal analysis of turbine/blower foundations by just calculating the natural freq. of the foundation...

    Spectral response Acceleration Ss & S1 for areas other than U.S.

    Anyone who can teach me the values of spectral acceleration Ss & S1 of iran? We have a project located in that country using IBC 2000 code for seismic load calculation. the problem is, the contour maps provided in the IBC 2000 (also in ASCE 98) is for US only, how can we get the values of Ss &...
