I appreciate your feedback. I was actually trying to approach this from a fundamental engineering perspective. Let’s say we’re dealing with a non-thermally broken extruded aluminum frame — in that case, would my assumption be valid that the screw connections would primarily experience shear...
I'm reviewing the screw that anchor the aluminum jamb of a swing door to the supporting structure and i'd like your opinon on the screw design.
My engineering colleague believes that the screws that anchor the door's jamb to the substrate should be designed for prying-tension load due to the...
1.We have not yet confirmed if the existing beam can independently resist the torsion. Another engineer, who originally designed this beam, is currently reviewing its capacity. If the existing beam is deemed sufficient, would you then design the new beam such that its bottom flange can locally...

There are additional reasons for considering a continuous new HSS beam here. This beam not only support bracket but also supports the glazing channel at the front face of New HSS (see picture below). This glazing channel will run parallel to this new HSS beam. Do you see any better...
The existing HSS is only 6 inches wide and is not sufficient for the new bracket, which is why a new HSS is being considered. For simplicity, I have shown only one bracket in this discussion, but the project involves multiple brackets. We are considering adding a new HSS attached to the existing...
The interior HSS is an existing member, and I am designing an outer HSS that will be attached to it. This is necessary because we are adding a bracket at mid-span. I need guidance on how to assess the connection between the two HSS members.
I am currently being asked to design a double HSS that is subject to torsion along its length. The HSS at the back is supported by the concrete wall at its end (torsion resisted), and the front HSS, which I am designing, is planned to be attached to the front face of the back HSS with either...
I'm getting different moment of inertia value between the hand calculation and the section property from Shapebuilder (IES) program.
I'm trying to determine the moment of inertia of built up section composed of two cold formed steel channel (2 x 600S162-54).
The section property of 600S162-52...
Hi Kootk.
Yes I saw your reply. To be honest, this is my first time designing shearwall and I need to learn myself how to design with drag strut system.
I just wanted to know if im on the right track for segmented shear wall approach in my calculation.
Im aware that i forgot to add shear...
Hi KootK
I've assumed three shear walls (including shear wall inside of garage door) for checking shearwall strength on the ground floor. The shear force per each wall was determined using the continuous beam with two span method (three support = three shear wall).
I've used CSA O86-14 code...
I have a 2 story house design project where i need to check the shear wall at the large garage opening.
I have included the house sketch in the attachment. There is a wall inside of the garage and I want to know if this wall can be considered for shear wall calculation? Thank you...
I have a cold formed stud (600T200-54) that is supported both ends with overhanging supports symmetrically (See attached drawing).
The linearly distributed load over the beam is 6kN/m, the span between the support is 1200mm and overhang length is 550mm at each end.
And when I'm analyzing this...
ProgrammingPE and BAretired.
Thank you for the simple solution. It works and matches with the moment and shear diagrams i'm getting from SAP program.
I really appreciate it.
