Thanks a lot.

One of my clients asked for some estimation on internal stresses/residual stresses after bending a 3/4" dia. mild steel rod at 165 degree. I think there should be a minor internal tensile and compression stresses at each side respectively after bending. However, does anyone know a simple formula...

I am looking for a simply piece of calculation information about designing a foundation under dynamic loading online. I know there is a/n (expensive) seminar "Design of Foundations for Dynamic Loads" at ASCE but I don't have time to take it right way. I searched this forum and know there was a...

I'll appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I am looking for a new job as a structural engineer. I got an offer of structural engineer from a design consultant working in the industrial facilities of telecommunications market companies such as Intel, etc. I am expecting to receive other two offers of structural engineer in...

I check International Fire Code. It define the relieve pressure of 20 psf (usually 20 psf - 40 psf) for explosion deflagration (release) ventings. But it doesn't define how big size a venting can be. For example, is there a maximum area limit of 200 sqft or 300 sqft, whatever? I don't have NFPA...

Does anyone know the fire-rating requirement of exterior sheets of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sandwich panels in National Fire Code of Canada? For example, in the state of CA the exterior sheets have to be CC1 rated in hospitals, schools, and other public buildings if the skylight is...

Please recommend any books or design reference standards about structural design of water/wastewater treatment plants (facilities). The simpler the fundamentals of structural design, the better. Thanks a lot for any input.

Does anyone know where to get a (/an electronic) wind zone map or table which gives ASCE 3-second gust wind speed county by county? Thanks,

I have a question about Texas wind zone issues. I checked the wind map of Texas at http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/wind/geninfo.html#catastrophe. Typically there are three wind zone areas, Seaward of Intracoastal Canal, Inland (I) of Intracoastal Canal, and Inland (I) of Intracoastal Canal. What are...
