Thanks you both. The truss is around 60-ft. it will be field welded (weld on job site and erected). W4 is stock material. Is it possible that the Detail 2 requires more weld between gusset plate and chord members than the detail 1(if use same size gusset plate and locate at smae location)? Since...
I try to design a steel truss connection using gusset plate welded to truss chord. The diagonal tension member and vertical compression member will be welded to gusset plate. Please see attached sketch Detail Option 1. I am thinking to extend the vertical member to the face of chord and also...
Thank you DHENGR, I am sorry if I did not explain question clearly. In my question, I mainly asking how to calculate the force on web members. I read all feedbacks, and also get help from these feedbacks such as MSQUARED48, RB1957, PADDINGTONGREEN, and Others. Again, I am looking for how to...
Thank you all for your time. I try to design this member as composite beam such as cover plate weld to top and bottom of flange or shear stud floor. For adding bottom double angles (or other structural shape) to move W24 section neutral axis downward (and add more section area) to increase...
Thank you all. It will be great to have someone give me advising on how to calculate shear force on web bracing members or any reference books.
Thanks.
I will design a simple support beam to support linear load. In stock W24x84 beam will be used. The moment and deflection are overstressed (limit). The beam shear capacity is adequate. I will add double angles to form a built up section like truss in order to increase section modulus and section...
I will design a steel arch structural member. The arch will be about 80ft span with 20ft high in the span center (less than a semicircle). It is a two hinges arch. The arch member section will be four (4) faces (about 36" high x24" width), leg and bracing members will be structural Tube.
This...
Thank you.
I reviewed a lot of Sika information in internet. The old Sika specification stated that it is for grout bolt, rabar, etc. But the current Sika documentations are not stating it is for grouting bolts, rebar. So I concern that this product may have some issues in the past. I did call...
I will install threaded anchor bolts (1” diameter F1554 55, post installation) and try to use Sikadur 32, Hi-mod epoxy grout. I am unable to find the following information on the Sika Corporation web site.
1. What size of hole for 1” anchor rod?
2. Does Sikadur 32, Hi-mod have Freeze Thaw...
