Thanks everyone for the responses!
I apoligize for the "simplicity" of some of my questions (primarily FS) but I was having trouble digesting the information. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm a recent graduate. The current circulum at my school only taught strength design. Therfore...
NEVERMIND. I think I got the statics figured out (finally). For the two bolt procedure I'm just going to use what Ron and AJUK suggested (if the second bolt is in the tension zone).
I have three more questions:
1) I'm adding the factor of safety at the end and this is really giving me large...
....OR do you guys solve the the "two bolts in tension" problem by using the "x" that was solved for when you tried it with "one bolt" problem?
I'm really trying to get this down. I sweat the small the stuff!! Anybody have any more advice?
Thanks for all the responses!!
I was afraid someone might point out this was an indetermante problem. I was sure that it was but was hoping there was a different way to approach it. And it looks like there is....
I like the procedure that Dave and trilinga talk about. Although, in the case...
I'm sorry to post this here but I seem to be having a brainfart. I've been looking at this problem for too long and I need imput from others.
I'm working on a simple problem:
I'm analyzing a shelf angle, 4"x8" - 8" portion abuts wall, supporting a beam. I'm trying to use two...
1) When suuporting a beam on a shelf angle (seated connection) how do you guys figure the eccentricity of the load on the shelf angle?
2) When the loading capacity of the anchors won't allow a seated connection ONLY, what are some common ways to increase the capacity?? How much load goes to...
