Hi Structural Team
A student was asking me to explain the difference between pinned and fixed connection by concrete beams.
As I started to explain, I realized that this is actually not easy to explain or define the difference, because we actually never have such cases where the beam...
@littleinch: thanks for support, you make feel better ;-)
I like your statement " "why was he not supposed to build the brick walls on propped structure" is that the prop was a temporary construction feature" this covers me a bit
I attached a photo of the site
@dhanger: you right could have been done this way but not needed.
I just regrade that I did not have a note on my drawings which clearly stipulates that this is not allowed to built walls on a propped structure :-(
Hi guys
in our office we have a debate about the best welding of the angle section on a gusset plate.
See attached image. I have my own theory and my colleagues also they own one. Now I wanted to extend the debate on this forum to get maybe some new ideas.
Where and how would you weld the...
@Jayrod: convinced ;-) thank you guys for opening up some new perspectives for me. Ok so C is out but then B shoudl be the optimum setting out when your inner sections are smaller to line up the center of gravity lines, or?
when you detail a truss, would you give all the dimensions of all the vertical and diagonal members as well?
dimensions of gusset plates? or is it going to much into detail?
@gravityandinertia: you very right but then why not version c? there you also have the increased welding area but you recuse the gusset plate.
Do designers actually look into best lining up of center of gravity lines?
see image below
ok, so the one question is sorted but now I get another question.
Why am I seeing always the gusset plates outside of the member? Why don't we weld it inside? The center of gravity lines would then even line up much better
see attached image is version B and C not the best solution? and most...
that you guys, you all say the same basically, you all are also experts in this field but now an weak contractor wants to argue and I would like to show it to him somewhere written down. I need something to relate to.
