I designed a "Roof Only" Post-Frame building. The only real structural components in a roof only building are the cantilevered posts. The analyses of the posts is fairly straight forward...pretty much M=pL. My question is what does "rotation" mean in the End Condition Code when it says "Rotation...

I went through the 2016 thread looking for guidance and still felt the need to consult with the inmates here. If we take a stair / landing assembly where the landing is supported by four supports free to translate (within say 3" each way) in the X-Y plane and the lower run of...
I have looked into this topic quite a bit before I came here to bother everyone with a question. As I understand Section 13.3.2, the effects of relative displacement must be accounted for. What I can't figure out is how do I go about determining the stress induced by deflection in a very complex...
Thank you all for your input and help. I like the idea of arguing that the vertical (normal to the slab surface) component of the load in the stud doesn't even exist! But after having thought about this whole conundrum for over a week I have concluded that it actually DOES exist. My structural...
The beam model for bending moment for an embedded post is the same as for a simply supported beam (wL^2/8). Get the post attached to the slab with a suitable post bracket and design as usual. With the post attached to the slab at the bottom and to the roof diaphragm at the post/truss connection...
I have been working with a stair manufacturer for several years. One of the ways that stair stringers are attached at the concrete floor levels is to cast an angle with headed studs welded on the inside of an angle right at the intersection of the two legs of the angle. The studs are installed...
