I'm reviewing the connection for a cantilevered L3x3x0.5" angle welded to the side of an HSS6x4x0.25". There is a load at the tip of the angle resulting in a moment at the interface of the angle and wall of the HSS (see attached sketch).
The angle strength is fine, and the weld is fine, but I'm...
I've got a question about determining the concrete breakout for shear loading according to Appendix D of ACI 318. From the attached sketch, I have a steel column (which is part of a braced frame) anchored to a concrete T-beam below (24" beam + 8" slab). The shear load is pretty big and I'm...
I'm checking anchors subjected to tension for concrete breakout, according to the 2004 Canadian concrete standard CSA A23.3-04. I believe the anchor design guidelines are almost identical to those outlined in ACI 318.
The question I have arose when my boss gave me his old 1984 code...
I'm trying to draw a cantilevered beam in RISAFloor off the side of a column (There's no back-span, just a small beam cantilevered off one side of the column). I get an error when I try to draw it saying that the point at the free end is unsupported...even if the end releases of the beam are...
Is there any reduction for drift loads against a high roof with a parapet? Referencing Figure 7-8 from ASCE 7-05, I have hb+hc+hp, where hp is the height of a parapet on the high roof.
I'm more familiar with the Canadian National Building Code, which accounts for this parapet height in the...
I'm a Canadian engineer-in-training and I'm working on a glass canopy design for an American project. I've used ASCE 7-05 to calculate seismic loads but this is my first time using it for wind loads.
I have a couple questions regarding the Gust Effect Factor (6.5.8):
1. I've set up a...
I was wondering if I could get some input on this model I’ve been having trouble with.
Some background on the project (refer to attached sketch):
The structure I’m analyzing is a system of stainless steel beams and hangers for “cassettes” (basically boxes made up of HSS sections that holds...
