Hi there,
Compression cord in a girder truss is subjected to bending and deflection so I suggest to use the slenderness ratio from flexural compression table,
cheers we are in this together
Dear Eagle42,
In the calculations span seems to be around 3m where as in the plans the span is about 5m, and there is only 1 beam instead of 2 as shown in the drawing. Provide a Column to decrease the span or look at welding another inverted T section to the steel beam to get the correct...
Hello guys,
I am trying to design a water-retaining tank and I know that it has to be designed in the working stress method. I was wondering if there are any good books or reads that anyone can share that would be helpful.
thanks and regards,

Be Careful where you want to use the blocking for shearwalls, in some situations where you have a long narrow house with windows on the narrow side, your shear demand for the shear walls is quite high and you require blocking, see the shear wall selection table notes, check for OSB sheathing, if...
Hi there TroyD,
when you sister 2x to an existing member, make sure you use the idea of springs in parallel to get a correct bending moment. Since the span is 16' I am positive that you are using a rough sawn element 2x4 and you can consider that as a select structural if it is an old building...
Hello guys,
I am looking to learn more about Crosslaminated timber design and was wondering if there are any good books in Canadian standards, I am reading a pdf of CLT structural design by Dr.Markus Novak and Kurt Pock. Looked at woodworks and APA and couldn't find anything useful.
Thanks and...
