I've set up an excel spreadsheet that splits the beam into 100 pieces and runs the each load case (point load, uniform, etc.) separately. Then combines shear, moment, and deflection at each point for each used load case. I just use the equations found in AISC so it's limited on the type of...
I'm looking to take the SE exam in October and can't find any review books that cover IBC 2012. Everything I see is based off of IBC 2009 or 2006. I'm looking for practice problems and review material that cover the current codes.
Thanks.
Thanks for the help. It is a lot of work because of the Type III construction where exterior load bearing walls and stairwells have to be made of non-combustible materials and LVL's do not have a company that will back any sort of fire-treatment. Normally we can't pull it out of the wall...
Attached is what I have for a detail so far. As the shear force transferred from the wood beam to steel plate increases, I need another row of bolts in the beam side. Thus creating a problem in the wood column. I'm trying to use as much wood as possible to keep the steel costs down at this...
I want to connect an LVL beam to a wood built-up column inside the wall cavity. Any wood penetrating the wall assembly must be noncombustible materials (steel/ fire treated wood.) So I wan to use a 10"x10"x1/2" steel plate to connect the 2-ply lvl to a 4-ply 2X6 column (in order to stop the...
