Gents,
Can anyone tell me how to get the required moment for connection design in seismic applications for an ordinary steel moment frame using ASCE 7-05 and AISC 360-05? I am using R = 3 so no need to go to AISC 341. (By the way, why would anyone use R = 3.5 when you will be forced to design...
Are there any references in checking column flange bending when my end plate is behaving like a "thin" plate? If my end plate is behaving like a "thin" plate, the forces on the outer bolts are not equal to the forces on the inner bolts (unlike in the "thick" behavior, all bolt forces are equal)...
How do I compute for the wind load for the remaining walls for an open building? I am doing a Gable type structure with a small covering at the top part of the wall (connected to the roof eave).
ASCE 7-05 states that it is an open buiding if area of opening is 80% the gross area of wall.
But I...
Hey guys, just a quick question. In AISC 13th ed. Chapter F, I cant find capacities for Channel sections with non compact flanges or web.
Need help.
Thanks.
21.3.2.2 — Positive moment strength at joint face
shall be not less than one-half of the negative moment
strength provided at that face of the joint. Neither the
negative nor the positive moment strength at any section
along member length shall be less than one-fourth
the maximum moment strength...
is it possible to design a column in a concrete moment frame by just designing it with Dead load and live load then just add rebars at column-beam joints for lateral loads, i.e. seismic loads? why or why not?
I am currently designing a two-story concrete structure that is going to be located in a sloping terrain. The owner doesn't want to backfill or cut the land but he wants to make it sorta look like a "basement" (since only one side of the "basement" will have have soil in it).
Anyway, here are...
I wonder how do I do like an iserror function of excel in mathcad.
for example, I am going to match a number to an array that doesnt have a match to that number. Mathcad only gives out an error message saying that "no matching values found". how do I make mathcad do something else if no values...
Hello, is there a way in mathcad to use vlookup that the value that it looks up is not on the first column? because in excel I do something like this :
=INDEX(A2:A6,MATCH("Belfast",C2:C6,0))
Is there a way to do this in mathcad?
thanks in advance to anyone that can help
