Hi,
I'm carrying out a debris scenario analysis for a structure subject to seismic loading. To expand, there is a steel-framed loading bay that temporarily stores steel containers containing hazardous material before the containers are moved to a more permanent home inside a reinforced concrete...
I need some help.

I'm currently trying to obtain STAAD output to obtain adequate reinforcement for a concrete beam. I've sort of been able to do this but unfortunately, it's not designing the rebar based on the predominant force that I've applied to the beam. My problem is that the predominant force is applied as...
I'm unsuccessfully trying to analyse a frame that is subjected to dynamic fluid loading. I'll describe the structural problem, how I want to model it using STAAD and why I don't trust the output. I'd welcome any suggestions on how I can get it to work or if STAAD just isn't up to the job.
I...
I'm involved with compiling a scope of work for carrying out a periodical survey of the piles of a jetty to acertain their structural integrity. The jetty has a total of about 250 piles. Obviously, it's impractical to inspect all of the piles due to time constraints and difficulties associated...
I have been given an existing simplified model of a structure. The important information consists of node position and member locations (i.e, the nodes that define the beams, columns etc. Only the primary structure is included in the model and it's my job to "fill out" the model by...
I'm trying to understand a graph in the publication "Design of Blast Resistant Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities" published by ASCE.
On page 3-7 Fig 3.2a shows the relationship described in the subject of this post for a Shock Wave. I fail to understand why the reflection coefficient Cr...
Hello,
I have a question concerning the capacity of L-bolts used in a slightly unconventional way.
An external wall is constructed from aerated concrete panels. The panels span horizontally across columns at suitable spacing. The panels are attached to the columns by L-bolts hooking round the...
