Was working on an example problem on base plates from the collection of problems on a CD that came with the 13ed of the AISC.
Example J.7 Base plate bearing on concrete; after an initial guess at base plate area and dimension, the next step says: "Check base plate dimensions"
"Verify N...

Kind of off topic but I went to a short course on cold formed steel design put on by the Univ. of Missouri
www.ccfssonline.org
3 day course, intensive, and got a free textbook out of it. I think it is offered twice a year.

Thanks for your time. I would like to start studying for the AWS "Certified Welding Engineer" exam. What publications do I need to study in order to prepare for the examn? I have my EIT but no other applicable certifications. Prospective PE's have study books from Lindburg (Professional...
Thank you for taking time to answer what I hope is a basic question. I am trying to figure out how far down the zone of influence for a footing extends. I borrowed a CE Reference Manual (Lindeburg) and came across a formula that gives me area of the zone of influnce: A=((B+2(h cot 60))+((L+2(h...
Couldn't get the spreadsheet to attach in the previous post so here it is.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ad0c8b7e-14a9-4c9e-9600-269f797f584b&file=STRUCTURAL_BEAM_CAPACITY_TABLE_(FORUM).XLS
Good information! I have attached the spreadsheet that I am working off of and someone’s handwritten notes that was used a reference for the spreadsheet so that you can have an idea of what I am doing. Unfortunately, our engineer doesn’t remember who created the spreadsheet or what the sources...
EdR: Thank you very much! Can you humor me and give me a specific textbook/reference where that formula can be found? My Mech of Mat. book does not have formulas for beams with both end fixed, just can beams. This exercise is turning into a documentation goat rope:); the only books I have to...
I work for a small storage rack manufacturer and have the joy of updating our capacity spreadsheets (based on 3rd Ed. LRFD). However, the formulas used have no reference as to where they came from. Some are self explanatory such as those found in the AISC book but others look like they are...
okay...thanks for the info so far. I left out one piece of info that is critical. I will weld a roll formed angle tab with holes in it to the underside (at the end) of one of the horizontal angles and then bolt it into the corner of the vertical angle. Thus, there will be a way to have the...
Thank you for your time. Please bear with my lack of knowledge on structures; I just separated from the military after 10 yrs flying helos and haven't had to use my CE degree till now with my new company. I am in the process of designing/estimating a shelving system to be used in an automated...
