BA,
I understand what you are doing, but I am not sure that you can treat that connection as pinned. Isn't it closer to a fixed support? If so, do I need to analyze it differently?
I was thinking that I could check the angle for bending stress at the edge of the radius using the I section...
Thanks for the information.
If the vertical leg is also in bending, is the horizontal force acting on the top equal to the vertical load acting on the horizontal leg?
BA,
No problem about the drawing; I realize that this design case is not what single angles are normally used for.
What is the resistance factor accounting for?
Do I need to account for the shear in the angle as well (perhaps using a unity check such as Shear/ShearAll + Moment/MomentAll <=...
I'm not showing the weld incorrectly. Our equipment resembles a cube and we weld support angles on two sides of the cube. We weld the support angles on the top and bottom of the vertical leg for the entire length of the angle. There should be no bending or deflection over the length of the...
This is a quick sketch of what I am referring to. Let me know if this is helpful. I am hoping to be able to calculate and allowable load per inch based on thickness and material.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ff1dc156-d546-458f-ad76-0e484bcc89af&file=Sketch.pdf
Hello All,
I'm new here, but I have searched through posts in the past. This has been a great source of information!
We support our equipment from single angle supports that are continuously welded on the top and bottom of the vertical leg of the angle. When the support is place on the...
