How much can you bend a straight piece of rebar and still consider it to take the full load in tension? (or Compression)
I have a concrete embed which has tails on it to drag the load into the concrete. There are times in the field in which the tails need to be bent to fit in place.
I've...
What electrode do I use?
The new PCI Manual (7th Ed) actually states "Use E80 electrode for ASTM A706 rebar"....to A36 material.
The old PCI Manual (6th Ed) provided length of weld for E70 electrodes.
What happened? I have a very old AWS D1.4-92 which does have a Table 5.1 stateing "Matching...
This sentence actually states for Nonstructural Component Anchorage(13.4), for Anchors in Concrete or Masonry anchors embedded in concrete (13.4.2) shall be proportioned to carry the least of the following:
13.4.2.a: 1.3 times the force in the component and its supports due to the prescribed...
Hi
I'm designing stadia / risers for a stadium. So the flexural shape is a "Z" section with a flange in tension.(See enclosure)
For the design of the "Z" section the limiting factor for my overhanging flange is 1/2 the clear distance, so I proceed to design my section. In my design I don't...
This is only a lateral connection. The bearing and longitudinal connections are elsewhere on the panel. The eccenentric loading is not a desireable item but a necessary item due to the locations of the panels in relation to the column. (someone please slap the architect for me!)
I had not...
Thank you mods. Thank you "Other Posters" I apologize about my lack of detail. Enclosed is a detail I am using. I am the cladding subcontractor and I did not want to leave it up to the Structural Engineer to tell me to put stiffeners everywhere, so I wanted to be able to calculate when I needed...
Are there provisions for calculating when a stiffener is required to resist eccentric loading on a column flange. Is anyone familar with articles that address this situation.
I found an article on beam flange bending on Modern Steel Construction...
Hey you guys;
I am loading a structural column eccentrically for connections for the cladding of a building. This will cause rotation and bending in the column flange. I'm familiar with the web stiffener provisions, but am trying to determine at what point I need to add a flange stiffener to...
What I was concerned about was if there were any code specified minimums in this regard. I have not seen anything in ACI, or AWS D1.4 but I was fishing a bit to see if anyone in the engineering community knew of any such requirements
If I am welding a rebar with a 10 degree bend in it, onto a plate, how far away from the bend do I need to be, to start my weld? Does anyone know where I can find something in writing about this?
This diagram calls this dimension out to be 2 1/2" but I'm not sure where this dimension comes...
Yes, you are correct vande, it is ASCE7-05. From another thread, I gathered that the formula for non-structural components was more for parts at different levels of a building.
So next I would tend to think this is a Non Building structure (Fp = 0.3SdsW). However, the formaula given for 'rigid...
Hey you guys;
It would appear that the seismic loading for freestanding walls on spread footings is aquired under "non Structural components" in the 2006 IBC. For this situation, how does z/h work?
Thanks,
Stu
