I'm aware of AASTHO having a method and formula but I'm not familiar with AASTHO code nor do I have access to one. I have heard said that it is based on Westergaard's...
I'm designing some steel pipe piles, an H section may perhaps be used.
The piles will restrain some lateral load due to wind. I have obtained moments and shears from a program for an acceptable deflection.
My question is how do I evaluate the section for stresses.
IBC 2006 1809.3.2 Specifies...
I am a structural engineer. I often design welds and as such need to identify the section properties of weld patterns.
I have seen a publication called "Welding Formulas and Tables for Structural and Mechanical Engineers and Pipe Support Designers" by T.S. Hobert published by I.V.I. Structural...
I'm designing a stand alone masonry elevator hoist way. Code is IBC 2003 which defers to ASCE 7-02 for Seismic Design. Seismic Design Category = C. Due to windows on the back side and doors on the entrance side, in one direction the shaft functions as a moment frame. ASCE 7-02 classifies the...
