Hi Engineers Practising in Australia, I have a question regarding the sign off requirements (legally required) for various states of the Australia. Can someone please confirm? 1) QLD: RPEQ 2) VIC : Registration Professional Engineer with VBA/BLA. 3) NSW : ? 4) WA : ? 5) NT : ? 6) SA : ...

Thanks for the document GC. But let us assumed there is no deflection head track and only it is a bracket. what do you think in that case? Thanks

Hi All, I am designing a bracket for an external facade wall. We need to provide the gap of 20-30mm to allow for incremental deflection.the bracket needs to be fabricated with the slotted holes for the screw (as shown in the attached sketch). What checks I need to run on the bracket to...

Yes I think option 1 is a good idea. Unfortunately option 2 is not possible.

I would like to thank all of you for such a wonderful discussion. For Vertical loading, bottom track, I am designing for gravity load due to the lining (minor axis) also checking for the uplift and suction for the adjacent soffit connected to it. For lateral load bottom track, I was confused...

It is light gauge steel. And the bottom chord is in the air. The above supports are in to the concrete soffit (pin supports).

Hi All, I am designing a bulk head as show in the sketch. I am bit confused about the tributary width of the load , bottom track needs to be designed for. Please share your understanding. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e174986e-315f-4c41-8ac3-22bd481b0f46&file=bulkhead.jpg

Thanks Tomfh. Yes you are right there are numerous better options on the Bunnings. XR250: Base shear is approximately 0.33KN ( 78 lbs). Yes agree with you. rb1957: They should be using the template to make sure the holes are perfectly placed. But I have seen number of times, site team...

thanks again to everyone. Let me share bracket client sent me to have a look. It is 40x40x5mm thick. with M10 bolt/anchor. He want to use two of the bracket to the web of the 92mm stud, with 10mm gap between with them (0.75BMT stud). As I checked on hilti Profis and it requires 50mm gap...

I am very thankful to everyone. Especially Kootk for his well explaining sketch.I have few other points to not recommend to use it as these angles are not galvanized, so galvanizing them will increase it's cost. And it will hard for them to cut the exact holes at the exact location in the stud (...

Hi Tom, My original design is the bracket with 4#14g screws with the stud. But client engineer is trying to convince me to the put this as a option in my design specifications (as these brackets with bolts holes are readily available in Australian market).that is why i am looking for all the...

Thanks XR250! But I am based in Australia and client won’t order from the USA.i already suggested them. PhamEng. Thanks for your detailed response.

Hi value of moment = 0.117 KN-m. It is a short wall of 700mm high (inside the enclosed building). any other thoughts?

Hi All, I am designing the moment resisting bracket for cold formed steel stud wall. I calculate the base moment and reaction and calculate the shear forces in the bolts connected to the stud (Bolt Pattern Force Distribution). and similarly used hilti profis to check the bolt capacity. My...
