    Single top track for gravity loads

    Lost you say? Let's get you back to your room Gramps. [heart]

    Web parallel stiffeners

    You mean to tell me a 3/8" stiffener at every single beam reaction is unnecessary? :ROFLMAO:

    Single top track for gravity loads

    Where I practice it is common for contractors to require sealed shop drawings for steel studs, interior or not. Just trying to math out the "typical" details/framing that is done for these walls, instead of just "that's how we do it". @dold , you make a good point.

    Single top track for gravity loads

    Is there a rule of thumb width or height above the door that this sheetrock webbed beam works for?

    Single top track for gravity loads

    Do you know of a design example that goes through this thoroughly?

    Help Identify Unusual Steel Roof Joist

    I know I'm a bit late, but the picture of the joist on page 1 of the supplemet document looks an awful lot like your condition. I've uploaded all I have for Anthes joists.

    Single top track for gravity loads

    Hey all, A detail I have seen quite often for non-structural steel stud framing is to have a single inverted track run across the opening as the header. However, these tracks have an insanely low Iy (weak axis) so I'm curious how it's justified to carry the gravity load from the wall above...

    Warping Equations for U-Shape

    I'm just trying to calculate web compressive strength of Canam Joists. I have a paper from them with most properties except for warping and torsion. I don't think these failure modes would govern a joist anyways considering the ends are sandwiched between the top chords, but best to check

    Please what's the exactly meaning in the Annotaion note of drawing?

    Please don't double post. The 9.5 is the depth, the "Z" is the shape. The 12 is gauge of steel used. Not sure on the rest though.

    Warping Equations for U-Shape

    Does anyone have readily available equations for warping and torsional constants for a U-Shape? Would I be okay to use the C-Shape equations? I'm analyzing cold formed U-members for a joist web, and the supplier does not provide these values but I need them to find Feyz as specified in S16...

    Concrete cover pile cap

    It also depends on what is used to form the pour area. Whether its plywood formed or just excavated.

    Steel design aid (AISC 360-22) - sharing the tool

    Me aswell. If it isn't a protected file I'd be interested in going thru and converting to CSA standards for Canadian code use.

    Moment Resistance of Single Angle

    Angle is flipped so that the block bears on the horizontal leg, and the block grout is removed to slot the angle into the wall at each end, 8-16" of bearing typically.

    Moment Resistance of Single Angle

    If I am anchored to the block I am supporting along its length then I am torsionally restrained no? Also after further inspection it's not a bearing wall, just supports some infill block.

    Moment Resistance of Single Angle

    Angle will only be on one face.

    Moment Resistance of Single Angle

    CA = CAN, should really be clarified site-wide. I took a look at AISC 360 and it seems my Mr should be phi*Mn = 1.5*My with the Fy reduced in accordance with slenderness/local leg buckling.

    Moment Resistance of Single Angle

    Hey all, For a typical loose lintel angle being used to support a new opening in masonry, what do you typically take as the moment resistance? I've done some sanity checks in RISA and they appear to take it about the principal axis, and proportion the moment into both the local axis's to then...

    CFS Stud Bracing Confusion

    I'm curious as why Bailey provides load tables for axially loaded studs and specifies the capacities are applicable to walls braced at 4' on center, but doesn't say anything about restraining the bridging at the ends.

    min. development length

    I don't think you can use 11/26 as your reduction factor. Since you're reducing by the ratio of provided As to required As, then isn't Asreq found by back calculating As from setting Tr = Tf? I'm not familiar with ACI, but I'm assuming that there is a phi factor in Tr = phi*AsSteel*Fy? So your...
