I have an analysis model composed of bracings,beams and columns.
When I have verical loads only applied to my structure, I find the axial forces in bracing (in some of them) greater than the columns connected to it.
What could be the reason?
I've applied a line load on the edge of a 2-D plate.The edge is a curved edge (in the form of an arc).
In the software,I use,the user need not mention the orientation of the line load--that is, I just set the load being applied over the LCS of the edge and direction (X,Y or Z).
Is the laod...
Hi,
I've found that some software packages have an option of specifying a particular member as a "Tension only" member.
However,I've never used this functionality in my practise so far (though I am relatively new to the field!).
I am curious to know what is the advantage of specifying a...
Under the current revision of BS5628 part 1:2005 and Annex B there is a requirement to include for additional eccentricity for slenderness effects in walls (or columns) where the slenderness ratio is less than or equal to 6.
Now this "additional eccentricity may be assumed to vary linearly...
Hi,
A bit of survey on the revised BS 5950 1990 to BS 5950:2000(though not recent but need to have some validations prepared!):
1. Going through BS 5950-1990, there was a clause that if the effective length of the member is less than the limiting length then then the lateral buckling check is...
