    Cold Storage Design

    Well, Rowengineer, the cold storage will be around 60' x 80'. There is no wearing slab over insulation. It is only a 6" slab over soil. On the humidity, the area is a warehouse that has a 70% RH at least. But normally the area or geographical area the warehouse is very humid. Thanks for the...

    Cold Storage Design

    I'm verifiyng if it is possible to install a cold storage room inside an existing warehouse over an existing 6" slab. The room is to operate at 2 C / 35.6 F. The cold room provided says that no demolition of the slab is required but I think there is going to be some heaving or swelling in the...

    Puerto Rico Building Code Question

    The Code is the UBC 1997 with the 1999 ARPE ammendments. Seismic Zone 3. Verify if the structure is FM Gloobal insured use their Data sheet 1-28 for wind loads. There have been talks about using the IBC 2006 , but nothing yet has been decided..

    Shear Wall-Steel Beam Connection

    Yes, it is a drag link, so i'll have to designed similar to a base plate with uplift. The rebar has to develope the required tension drag that will be applied to the plate. Thanks for your input...

    Shear Wall-Steel Beam Connection

    I'm designing a steel building on which steel braces are used for lateral on one direction and shear walls (elevator and stair shaft)on the other. How do I connect the building to the shear walls core. I have seen it with a steel plate with welded Nelson Studs casted inside the core. After the...

    Cold Formed Steel joist data

    Cold Formed Steel joist data

    I'm doing an evaluation of an Prefabricated Metal Building. I'm looking for data on the buildings steel joists. The steel joist's bottom and top chord are not double angles. They are similar to the shape drawn here \__|¯¯|__/ . The web elements are bent pipe sections 3/4" in diameter. Is...

    Reference for "Pipe Rack" analysis/design

    For High wind areas use "Wind loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities" from the ASCE. It explains the wind load distributions for pipe rack and platforms.

    Revit sloped level.

    I'm new to REVIT 2008 structural and I have the following question. How can you set a level slope. For example, a roof level with high point 21' and low point 16'. I do not seem to find how to do it. Thanks

    Can I change the deformed Shange Sound in ETABS

    Is it possible to change the deformed shape animation sound in the ETABS programs. The thing is that I have heard the same sound for years and I want to change it.

    ANCHOR RODS DESIGN

    Yes, follow the ACI 318 appendix D. In the "process industry practices" PIP STE05121 "anchor bolt design guide" they have examples for cases on which the edge distances are not met in the design and "hairpins" have to be used to provide the required capacity.

    Steel beam and metal deck unbraced length

    Exactly that is my point, We cannot assumne that the slab will be providing a torsional restraint of some sort. This effect it is recommended by the Yura paper not be considered in the design. I think you are correct. I'll have to consider the puddle weld as providing lateral restraint to the...
