My project manager informed me that since the pier is under a high lateral load, there is a check I have to do to make sure that the reinfrocement is suffecient under combined axial loading and bending conditions. However, what is confusing me is the pier is under a high tension load and I...
Hey, thanks for responding. So would I start off by solving for the reaction forces on the frame (I guess I would have to assume two pinned connections and analyze it as an indeterminate structure) and then use method of sections to determine the loads in the each member including the knee braces?
Recent grad structural engineer and I need to conduct an analysis on a steel platform structure using CISC standards. For column design, I was told I need to analyze compressive strength and the beam-column strenght of the columns since they have knee braces. Problem is I dont know where to...
