I am considering going to study a MSc Naval Architecture at the University of Southampton- the 1 year taught masters.
I have been trying to get an industry opinion about this degree overall (demand for Naval Architects in the future) and the degree at this university. In South-Africa there is...
Hi everyone,
I want to connect a member to the web of a plate girder and need to work out the maximum amount of force that can be applied to the bolts parralel to the member before the bolt holes elongate too much, or shearing occurs.
In our code it makes provision for shear failure and...
Hi everyone,
Doing some third party connection checking I came across a potential problem, would like to confirm my suspicion.
I have a bracing connecting to a Plate girder at 45 degrees 1400x500x50x20, the bracing has a tensile force of 190KN and it connects to the girder's web 390mm from the...
Hi All,
I have to design a 4m high blast wall to resist the explosion of 3- 2m dia. x 4m high hydrogen storage silos. The wall is about 4m from the silos.
I am finding it difficult to determine the blast pressure on the wall. It is not possible for me to obtain the relevant design loads (the...
Hi guys,
What is the easiest way of extending a members effective length for a laterally unsupported situation? Like two members in the bottomcord of a truss. I don't get that comand in steel designer, maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Any help?
Cheers
hi guys,
I designed a besement like structure a few weeks ago, I did the initial bending moment calculations assuming the walls as cantelevers( the roof can be removed), only taking into account the pressure of the soil.
I then checked it on Prokon2.2 as a retaining wall and got the same...
