Hello,
I ran into a problem while doing a fatigue design check for a post groove welded to a base plate and appreciate any guidance on this matter.
In LTS-6 chapter 11, it gives you scenarios on how to solve two factors, finite and infinite life fatigue stress concentration factor(K_F and...
Yes, I tried the calculator and was able to find the moment of inertia for the principle axes. However, I'm having a hard time determining the distance as you mentioned.
For the geometric axis: Sx = I/(y-x_c)
How would I find the equivalent distance of (y-x_c) for the principle axes?
I need guidance on how to calculate the section modulus of a single angle 2x2x1/4 about the major/minor principal axis (theta = 45 deg).
Any links/worked out examples would be amazing.
Thank you

Yes, this is a wood structure. My boss drew a plan that had a drag truss laying on top of a 7x7 wood column at both ends and told me to calculate the drag strut force which I was able to do.
However, I'm not so sure about the connection to the columns. Am I supposed to calculate the uplift...
Hello,
I need help coming up with an adequate fastener between the drag truss and the posts supporting it.
After calculating the drag strut force, it comes out to be about ~4500 lbs, and it's being supported by a 7x7 post each end.
The drag truss length is 36.25'.
How would I go about...
Hello,
I'm hoping for some inputs to see (or guide me) if I'm going in the right direction.
I have a 50' cantilever pole with a base diameter of 30" and tapers up to 15" at the top and is located in a zone with 100 mph wind speed.
I'm using AASHTO Structural supports for HW Signs Luminaires...
Hello, I need some guidance on what connectors/bolts/weld to use to connect a 6-3/4"x34-1/2" glulam beam on top to a HSS 7"x3"x3/8" column as support. I usually use a Simpson PCZ Post Cap when it's a wood beam on top of a wood post but I'm not sure if the same connectors can be used for wood...
