    Torsional effect on welded tubular connection

    Hi All, I have to design a welded tubular connection that connects 2 tubular members (like a T shape) in an off-shore platform jacket. One of the tubulars is a column (2225x80mm) and the other is a brace(1100X25mm). The brace exerts torsion on the column beside in-plane and out-of-plane bending...

    Torsion Effect on Tubular Joint design

    Hi All, I have to design a tubular connection that connects a tubular stub with a Jacket Leg (tubular with thickened part). The tubular stub exerts torsion on the jacket leg (in addition to the axial, and bending moments). As far as I know, according to AP-RP2A-WSD, tubular joint capacity...

    How to report specific joints displacements only without members stresses and forces?

    is there a way in SAP2000 to make analysis for the model to report specific joint displacements only without stresses and forces being reported for the whole model members. This is required sometimes in time history analysis where the required output takes a huge amount on the memory and the...

    ASCE-5 combinations used at soil-structure interface

    I have a discussion with my coworker about footing design subjected to vertical forces due to D, L, and E loads. The soil report permits a 1/3 increase in allowable soil stress for transient load conditions. I say the following points, 1. To get the max expected soil compression stress and the...

    DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR SEISMIC DESIGN CATEGORY A

    Item 11.7.3 in ASCE7-05 says “Any smaller portion of the structure shall be tied to the remainder of the structure with elements having design strength of not less than 5 percent of the portion's weight.” What is the relation between the 5% portion's weight and the element design strength?. Can...

    Scaling of the modal base shear in ASCE7-05.

    ASCE7-05 gives provision (12.9.4) which addressing the scaling of the combined response for the modal base shear (Vt) when it is less than 85 percent of the calculated base shear (V) using the equivalent lateral force procedure. But, there is no statement for the case when the modal base shear...

    The period of the structure based on UBC97 method A

    I am designing an industrial framed RC structure that has a vertical steel platform towers attached to the roof (the mass of the steel structure is neglected and not contributing in the main lateral resisting system, just for accessing some steel silo structures for maintenance). The total...

    The wind coefficients on a MWFRS of a multi-gabled roof

    I have a problem in determining the wind coefficients on a MWFRS of a multi-gabled roof for a warehouse. One of my friends advised me to use the coefficients addressed in ASCE for low rise buildings, but I am not convinced. The ware house is the biggest in the world as my team leader tolled me...
