    Geofoam under parking lot

    Project: Snow Melting under parking lot and alleyway. The kicker is that occasionally a 15-ton crane to remove rooftop equipment, etc. sets up in the alleyway. The manufacturers of the hydronic snow melt system require insulation under their tubing because the water table is within 8 feet...

    Composite Deck design

    Has anyone designed Composite Decks with STAAD? It seems they have two features (bugs?) to deal with them. The first is to include the additional options of concrete thickness and strength when selecting the steel beam in the member properties command. The other is to use specific composite...

    Joint/Member Naming conventions

    Does anyone use a standard naming convention for joint or member generation? I'm really tired of seeing member #138 and having to look at a map to see where member #138 is at. I really wish REI would allow us to use characters so that member #138 could become column B5. Imagineer

    Strength of non-compact HSS

    What is the formula for reducing the strength of non-compact HSS? LRFD, pg4-8 gives the formula phi.b Mn = phi.b Mp - phi.b(Mp-Mr)[(Lb-Lp)/(Lr-Lp)]. But the section says that this is for I or C rolled shapes only. LRFD, App. F, pg 6-11 gives (substituting l for lambda) Mn = Cb[Mp -...
