Hello fellow Structural Engineers,
I am supporting a floor with 100 psf Live Load with a 16" steel beam. However, I have been asked to have a 13" diameter hole. What design guide is available to check such a larger hole in a steel beam?
I can deepen the beam to as much as 24" but I am looking...
Does anyone have any information on a comparison of Hilti HIT RE 500 SD epoxy versus Simpson SET-XP epoxy?
I know that the Hilti SD is more expensive, but something tells me that it is worth. Maybe I just have more respect for Hilti's marketing tactics versus Simpson's.
Any thoughts?
Hello fellow Structural folk,
Thank you for your assistance. I have been getting a lot of feedback that stainless steel nails are flimsy, brittle and/or weak.
Does anyone have specifications for structural stainless steel nails? Or a list of capacities?
Thank you very much!

Hi fellow Structural Engineers,
I've had an architect propose that we have steel beams support our 34' one-way PT slab. It's got me a little concerned. We have had an old-school SE consulatant claim that this is fine with an L/600 non-composite design criteria.... and he proposes add studs...
Hello fellow SE's,
I have a situation where an old house has old 6x beams running the length of the center of the house, under the central bearing walls above. These beams have checking on the bottom (and top?), and long splits on the bottom. Yet, there are no checks on the sides.... perhaps...
