Quick question - Table 10-1 in AISC 13th edition lists the beam web available strength per inch thickness for beams that are coped at the top flange only, coped at both flanges, and not coped. What if the beam is coped at the bottom flange only?
I came across a design problem that I am not sure if I have enough information to solve. I have a 6x6 steel angle supporting 500 plf of brick. Deflection is limited to L/600. What is the minimum thickness of the angle? I am not sure how to go about this when the span of the lintel is unknown.
How do I go about calculating the suction pressure on the eaves of a roof to determine the attachment of the soffit material? I know there are tables that spell out the attachment of the soffit based on the wind speed but I would rather calculate the pressure myself and determine the attachment.
I have some questions regarding a beam with two points a and b. The acceleration in one direction is recorded at 20 samples per second for 5 minutes. How can I determine if the two points are moving in the same direction or opposite direction in a given mode? How do you determine the relative...
This is probably really simple but I'm just not seeing it. What error is made if you measure strain at a point ex and estimate the stress as Eex where E is young's modulus?
