Thank you Baretired, msquared, and retired13. That is what we were discussing. We figured that it could be on either, but not a full load on both at the same time. Even though snow could pass through the grating for a period of time, it would likely begin to accumulate and collect on the...
I think that there is some misunderstanding here, I probably did not phrase my question properly, so for that, I apologise.
For example, say I have a 30 psf balanced snow load. I am designing the bar grating and it's supporting framing for the full 30 psf. I am also designing the roof framing...
Good afternoon all,
I was having a debate in the office this week regarding snow loading on bar grating. I have looked far and wide and I am unable to find a specific resource for anything conclusive.
This is a large equipment platform with bar grating on top of a roof that is supported off...
Bones,
Thank you for the reply. That is a very good reference. They seem to incorporate the Widianto findings without changing anything (other than adding a few more tension reinforcing details and discussions). They don't really help answer any of my other questions, but I still think it is a...
Good morning all,
I am working on a connection of a steel column to a concrete pier with shear transfer via the anchor bolts. Hopefully someone can help shed some light on this for me. I was looking over the Design of Anchor Reinforcement in Concrete Pedestals by Widianto, Patel, and Owen. I...
Hello all,
We came across a project where an older commercial structure had a roof failure after a high wind event. I went to look at it and found that it had about 25% of its newer EPDM roof that had pulled loose. The EPDM roof was fastened directly to a gypsum roof deck. The thing that struck...
a2mfk, I apologize. I have never had to upload a file before to eng-tips, but that does not seem to be working. Is there a better way to do that?
Thank you for your time and help,

Good afternoon everyone,
I am working on a small project and thought I might run a question by everyone. Basically what had been going on was that a previous homeowner had cut a 6 foot section out of the bottom chord of the second and third roof trusses near the front bearing support to allow...
Good afternoon all, I was browsing and found this older thread: thread378-191855. It is a similar question to the problem that I am working on now. I just want to verify that I am on the appropriate track
I am working on a project involving cables and the owner wished to use a pipe as a portion...
