    Engineered Shear Wall Design in IRC Prescriptive Brace Wall System

    IRC R602.10 states " . . . Where a building, or portion thereof, does not comply with one or more of the bracing requirements of the section, those potions shall be designed and construction in accordance with Section R301.1." I've tended to lean toward engineered shear wall designs for single...

    Bolt Head Pull Through in Steel

    Update for anyone else looking for this answer: After letting this stew, I came across a formula in section 3.2 of AISC DG 24 regarding the strength for pull-out of a single fastener through an HSS wall as rn=Fu(0.6*pi*dw*t) with phi = 0.67 and omega = 2.25. Looks like this is just a punching...

    Bolt Head Pull Through in Steel

    Thanks everyone for the inputs. WARose has the correct equations for CFS, but wouldn't cover thicker steels. I briefly reviewed the document jaskamakkara suggested and I think that limit state covers different yield lines for yielding of the plate for prying action (which is covered a little...

    Bolt Head Pull Through in Steel

    Anyone have a resource for calculating the capacity of bolt head tear through (pull through) in a piece of a steel bar greater than 3/16". For instance, if there's a threaded rod in pure tension that is nutted on the backside of a flatbar. Limit states are available for the rod/nut, but I can't...

    Reviewing Non-Compliant Inspections and Testings

    I'm wondering how other firms handle what seems like a common situation in our office: Concrete truck is measured with not enough air entertainment. The contractor is informed, but decides to pour anyways. Now the owners rep/inspector is looking to us (EOR) for our "blessing". Of course telling...

    Best Practices on Creating Note Sheets

    Is your docx file specifically formatted or does your drafter do the formatting through AutoCAD?

    Best Practices on Creating Note Sheets

    Not a technical engineering question, but I thought maybe a firm represented by you all may have a better process. I think my firm produces note sheets rather inefficiently, and I can't believe other firms don't have a quicker/better way of creating them. The following is our process: Write...

    Allowable Deflection on Mechanical Supports

    I have some mechanical support framing that's deflection controlled. My typical is to allow up to L/360. But for this particular support, I'm at 0.8" of deflection. Anybody know where to find an allowable deflection limit for mechanical supports? Thanks!
