Has anyone purchased the spreadsheets found at www.engineering-international.com and could vouch for their accuracy and/or value? They seem well put together, but the creator, a Daniel Tian Li, SE out of California, would not give me references when I contacted him, citing 'marketing games' he...
Putting together an analysis of an existing bent plate connecting element, ~200in^2 total. FEA is showing an area of ~3in^2 exceeding material yield strength, peaking at about 160%. (A36 steel hitting nearly 60ksi)
Does anyone know how to quantify the allowance in the code, as written at the...
