Hi all,
I did a search and I don't think I saw anything on FRP connections. Topics on FRP beams are all too scarce, anyway. Anyway, I am using an 8X8X08 WF-BEAM FRP beam for one of my structures because of its more corrosive-resistant properties. It is about 8' long. It is not supporting a...
ProgrammingPE,
I was going to state that the beams are attached to the steel plate and not to the ground, and so the boundary condition between the bottom of the beam and the steel plate should be a pinned, fixed or something between pinned and fixed condition. However, BAretired did put forth...
I have attached some screenshots of a rendering and then a wireframe of my structure. It is a really low structure. It is meant more for a pipe crossing and vehicles are able to drive over it, too. I have a 1" steel plate at the top of the structure, and a 1/2" steel plate at the bottom of...
I’ve got questions about boundary conditions for my beams, and values of spring constants, and hope that someone familiar with these topics can advise. First question is I have a structure consisting of beams, some as deep as 24”, and even a small triangular truss. It is a very low structure...
