Thank you all for the inputs and suggestions. I have been deeply reading ASCE 7-10 Sow provisions and found a similar discussion in the "Frequently asked Questions" and it shows how some of the snow can be "captured" by the parapet, but only about 30% is done so, the rest is blown over onto the...
Sorry for the confused question. I want to know if there is a reference for this type of scenario under the ASCE Snow provisions. Also, is there a Parapet height that will null the snow drift leeward on the canopy structure i am designing?
HI everyone, I was wondering if i could get a little guidance as I am looking at the designing a canopy structure next to an existing building that has a 7'-0" parapet, and the height difference between the top of parapet and roof of new canopy is about 10'-6". I'm particularly looking at the...
hello everyone, I'm seeking help trying to find some EU Steel Specifications and if there is such thing as an equivalent AISC 360 in the EU. I am assisting in the design of some supports in Ireland, and all i am familiar are with American Standards and codes. I found the Eurocode on structural...
Hello everyone. I am an Engineering intern and I am working on a project where we are adding a canopy that is about 14 ft tall, 22ft wide and 57ft long. The canopy is being attached to the main structure as it butts up against the (e) building wall, on the other side, I will have some HSS posts...
Hey everyone, thank you for the information and guidance. It was very useful and i was lucky to get a very understanding Manufacturer. The person i spoke clearly understood that this was for preliminary design and was nice enough to send out a "typical" structure" as this is a rectangular...
Awesome! thank you so much for the guidance on this. I would really want to avoid any possible design especially with the deadline. I'll be contacting some companies in the area. Thanks a lot!
Sorry for the confused question. I would like to know the best way to approach a company, we are not considering doing any of the design except for the foundation. We are trying to get some preliminary sizes on the members as we have a very quick deadline to present preliminary designs and...
Hello colleagues, I am a EIT and i have been put to a task on getting some preliminary design for a project. i was wondering if anyone has had to select a company to design a PEMB before. From my experience, it has been the architect's job to do so. The purpose of the building is a storage unit...
is there a specific process for understanding the distribution of load per the stiffness of each frame? sorry for the simple questions, trying to understand as i am fairly inexperience.
I am new to design (recently graduated), and i have been working on a project that has moment frames on all 4 sides of the building (rectangular one-story retail building) and on the short length walls, i have two moment frames on each side because the building has some pop up towers that take...
