Hi swearingen,
Thank you for your reply and follow up questions. To give a bit context, I'm designing a skylight fixture between two buildings, and it's fixed to one building and only vertically supported by the other building. On the simply supported side, I need to leave some space for the...
Hi Driftlimiter, thanks for the reply. Section 12.12.3 talks about the required design distance with a reduction factor for structural opening to account for the inelastic movement of both buildings in the same direction. I was more wondering what if I consider inelastic seismic movement in...
Hi EngTip folks,
I'm trying to design a structural connection between two buildings in a seismic zone. The inelastic story drifts in NS and EW are 10" and 6" respectively. So for the designed structural connection, I need to consider the combined story drift in NS and EW directions. Is there a...
Hi fellow structural engineers,
My team just designed a steel truss roof with a 50' span and 10' width, with some tight clearance (1-1/4") with adjacent steel structures. We received some pushback regarding the manufacturability of the steel truss: the contractor is worried about the shop...
Thank you Jayrod12 and jjl317. Jjl317, what are some stone-specific epoxies you have used before? I am trying to anchor a newly made marble piece to a steel structure.
I am trying to find a good way to anchor into stone/marble. Has anyone had any experience with the type of anchor used? I have used Keil undercut anchor before for bigger projects, but I wonder if Hilti epoxy anchor can do the job for smaller projects even if they don't have test data for...
