Hi Group,
We often review Knee Braced Portal Frames as well. Jerseyshore did a fine job covering what needs to be reviewed. As a visual learner and someone who has always wanted to cross reference the statics and FBDs we've looked extensively for a write up. Attached are two that AISC published...
@reverbz the connection is either pinned or fixed based on the designer's intent (yours I presume). The demand and resistances can be calculated using hand calculations, software, or following design guides. Is your questions more directed at if a plate is thick enough should I change it to a...
KootK. Can you dig along the side and scan from the side? Typical Foundation NDTs - Non Destructive Testing - "rolls" the scanner around / along the perimeter. Spacing is marked with a grease pen, measured in the field, and confirmed on the computer back in the office once the data is uploaded...
Hello,
Reviewing AISC Eqn. (D5-1) the term be is introduced as be = 2t+0.63 (in.). This goes into a simple area calculation to calculate tensile rupture on the effective area. Where did the additional 0.63 value come from? I have seen some references to a stress concentration increase, but I am...
Hello All,
I was reviewing AISC 360 and Table K5.1 for a "T" type connection with matched width chord and branch members & Theta = 90 Deg. Both of these qualifications meet the applicability of the following note beneath the weld properties in the same Table: When Beta > 0.85 or Theta > 50...
AISC DG #: 29 Chapter (1) outlines the applicability of the Lower Bound Theorem that can be used here. Pending satisfaction of all of the limits states an admissible internal force field - distribution of internal forces in equilibrium with the applied loads - the external load is in equilibrium...
Hello All, Thank you so much TLHS & IDS. This was not for a specific problem unlike DIK suggested. Instead this was an exercise for me to better understand the equations presented in the text and to also be more comfortable using tables also in the text's appendices based upon these iterations...
Hello 271828 and thank you so far. I am with you there to Step #: 4. The simplification and cancelling out of variables is what I was missing. Perhaps I should have been clearer, but that's what I intend on looking for, a proof if you will.
Hello, I am having a little trouble deriving the percentage of steel reinforcement for a beam using rho and Rn (Flexural Resistance Factor). The results are given in Design of Reinforced Concrete by McCormac & Brown - Equation (3-3), attached for reference. I however have not been able to make...
ASTM A475 Standard Specification for Zinc-Coated Steel Wire Strand specifies the Nominal Diameter of Coated Wires in Strand and the Number of Wires in Strand for typical strand diameters in Table 1 - Physical Properties of Zinc-Coated Steel Wire Strand. You can back in to the total area using...
Hello driftLimiter. I read the paragraph the same as you. However, the question remains then when will side wall pressure ever be considered for MWFRS Design / Analysis? There are no subscripts for it in Fig. 27.3-8 while Fig. 27.3-1 shows it but doesn't tell us when to consider it.
Good Morning All. ASCE 7-16 states one shall follow the design wind load cases given in Fig. 27.3-8 when designing the MWFRS of a building. Exclusive of the torsional load cases, Case (1) shows the full wind pressure perpendicular to each axis of the building and Case (3) shows quartering winds...
Good Afternoon All. Typically the legs will be spliced or flange bolted together appearing as a fixed connection. However, it's conservative to model them as a pinned joint with an unbraced length between the panel points. The bracing members shall be treated as pinned or fixed depending on...
All,
AISC's Section E6 allows you to use E3, E4, & E7 as modified by the (Lc/r)m value. You are correct.
The intermediate spacing can be whatever a designer chooses as long as the dimensional requirements are met in Section 2. Per code, individual components of compression members composed of...
Hey Tonyiggy we typically give our engineers a buddy that they shadow for the foreseeable future. At first the senior buddy shares their job knowledge through training guides, etc. that are typically Powerpoints, Design Examples, Lessons Learned, etc. Then we unfortunately have them read the...
