I am looking for a procedure for evaluating the tensile/prying loads on fasteners for a steel angle ledger connected to a concrete wall using wedge or epoxy-type fasteners. I am looking for a modification of the Hanger-Type connection procedure in the AISC ASD manual but where the applied load...
I am using STAAD.Pro 2003 to model a truss type structure consisting of welded square and rectangular tubular shapes using beam elements.
A typical connection might be a 1.25x1.25x.125 wall tube welded to a 2x2x.25 wall tube. A fully fixed connection is probably overstating the true condition...
Does anyone have the article "Evaluating Cracks in Concrete Walls" from Concrete Construction magazine, Jnuary, 1993? I am looking for a copy of it if anyone has it. Thank you.
Does anyone understand the rational behind the Rafter Span Adjustment Factor given in Note a of IRC 2000 Tables R802.5.1(1) thru R802.5.1(8)? Is this a strength reduction consideration when a rafter tie is placed in the rafter space rather than at the top of wall? A FEA model of the situation...
I am looking for pressure coefficients compatible with ASCE 7-95/98 for open awning structure. This awning is a monoslope (up to 45 degrees top slope) welded tubular structure with a fabric cover on the top sloping surface and sides (open bottom).
I am looking for pressure coefficients compatible with ASCE 7-95/98 for a hemishperic dome mounted to the roof of a building. This dome would be totally enclosed, sitting flush with the rooftop of the building.
