Hi i am doing analysis on an inclined panel at degrees = theta. the panel is supported on a small base -i want to check overturning. i would like to achieve some knowledge on the wind force loading. can you please assist me? My thoughts: horizontal wind pressure gives the panel both...

Previously submitted in other forum for corrosion. Hi Guys, i have a drawing with galvanising specifications as the general notes. one note is "Baling" is not permitted. (it even has the " symbol, as if it is a colloquialism). Does anyone know what Baling is and why it would be prohibited?

Thank you Jstephen

Littleinch: plastic on hand, looking for a cost effective way. BSVBD - see above re: material. for steel i would have a similar problem: i haven't come accross the load case on a pipe. Dhengr - although i agree timber is suitalbe outside scope. Further info Pipe is approx 500 mm OD...

Hi, Bit of an oddball one. I would like some advice if possible. Client has a sheave block which supports rope over a 90 degree bend. (see below) They're taking the sheave out for servicing and don't want it to bend over a sharp radius (fair enough) and have asked for a length of plastic...

Hi, bit of an odd question. I have been asked to estimate forces on a crane gantry if the wheel is obstructed. I.e. breaks or snaggs on a rock. i have the drive motor power (7.5 kW with stall torque of 142 N.m) but unsure if it is necessary to use. surely if the gantry becomes obstructed...

Hi, I have a job to check a rather unusual connection. I have a I beam column terminating on the top of a rectangular hollow section. the I beam is subject to tension, and is trying to 'rip' the wall of the hollow section out. Checks which come to mind: - shear of i beam area on hollow...

Hi Guys, we have a coal stockpile which 'gravity feeds' an apron feeder (there are no vibrations, the coal just falls down into the apron). we're looking at increasing the stockpile ehight. can anyone help with derivation of vertical loads for the feeder? can i just multiply the feeder area...

KootK with the goods! Thank you so much. Regards, Joe.

Beware the self-righteous fool, eh dhengr? Thanks a lot for your expansion on KookK's response - I very much like your approach with the weld sizing.

i'm in tasmania, australia. I'm using 3990 (ASD) and AS 4100 (Limit States), but more than happy to learn new info!!

Thanks KootK. you're not wrong about keeping busy! just wondering if you could help with #2? point in a direction to help me consider this? Thanks again.

Hi, wanted to keep it high level so theory could be discussed,but t=2 mm l=2m OD=100 mm and plate t=4mm. Suspends load of 40kn at E=100mm
