    A little info w.r.t. design of Eiffel Tower

    I think the following info may interest some individuals in the world of structural engineering. As you probably already know: E.T. is 990 feet tall, is constructed of wrought iron, was built in 1887-89, and was designed by the great Gustave Eiffel. Now for what you probably dont know. The...

    Anchor Bolts: B-212 Specification

    Is anyone familiar with the anchor bolt specification B-212? I am unfamiliar with this material specification and its origin. A reference to the applicable specification and the bolt properties (Fy, Ft, Fu, Fv, etc.) is greatly appreciated.

    Some discussion of recent (last 20 yrs) developments in codes

    This was posted by MikeVV: On engineering history: I have been studying the Uniform Building Code and often wonder why the requirements exist as they are written - what event promulgated the requirement of interest? I would love to see a compilation of the major catastrophies that drove the...

    Historic Wind and Earthquake Design Criteria

    I am doing research on historic wind and EQ design standards, codes, and methods as relating to building and non-building structures. Are there any engineers out there who have direct knowledge or are aware of good sources of info on the subject? I already have an ASCE librarian performing a...

    Wind Drag Coefficients

    I didn't receive any response to this question in the Aerodynamic engineering forum, so I will give it a try here. I am a civil/structural engineer that specializes in the design of non-building structures to resist wind and seismic forces. My question is in regard to wind drag coefficients...

    Looking for historical design information

    I am looking for any reference for all decades prior to 1970 and dating as far back as 1850 for historic wind and seismic design procedures. In particular, I am interested in an authoritative source or sources that contain the exact numeric computations that would have gone into the design of...

    Drag Force determination

    I am a civil/structural engineer that specializes in the design of non-building structures to resist wind and seismic forces. My question is in regard to wind drag coefficients for different shape and size objects that are typically used in the aeronautical engineering community. Can anyone...
