Aesur, another question related to 3.4.13 - the slenderness calculation uses depth and thickness. With a rod column, I understand how I would calculate the slenderness ratio but in this instance, is a 1" round bar "beam" for example treated the same way as a 1"x1" square "beam"? (d/t *...

As a mechanical engineer who is involved with various weldments and other fabrications in steel and aluminum, I find it unusual to perform slenderness calculations on beams involved in bending. This may be very elementary to those in the structural engineering field but in my experience the...

Thanks - sounds good. I am a mechanical engineer who is often involved in the structural side of things in both steel and aluminum - generally I would apply the basic bending and shear calculations (generally use the same allowable for tension and compression) to the beam with appropriate...

I am referring to aluminum rod and I would guess that 3.4.3 refers to round tube and not rod? (I see the round sections listed explicitly for compression in 3.4.13.) I must be missing something as I do not understand why I don't see the round rod allowable stress for bending in beams. Any...

When using the ADM 2005, section VII, tables 2-2 to 2-26, why is there not a row for tension (extreme fiber) for round sections?

thread507-125753 Hi, I was doing a search for expanded metal strength and deflection tables and came across the above thread. I know it is old but I believe the Op was mistaken in his assumption of what the naming convention means for expanded metal. I believe he should be using a 1.8#...
