The top portion of the reinforcement is going to be wedged into the outer pipe, we are not looking for composite action, we just want to reinforce the base of the poles. I know there are other ways to reinforce the base of the pole but some jurisdictions may not want an added stiffener or...
Its various existing poles for lights, flags, and equipment towers. They are existing and its an idea for strengthing them. Some may have fatigue problems, its a general solution we are looking into.
Is there a way to calculate the moment distribution between two cantilever pipes, one inside the other? Or some reference I can find this information? The exterior pipe is a tapered steel pipe with constant wall thickness and the interior steel reinforcement pipe is constant diameter and...
I greatly appreciate everyone's response, yes this tower is of uniform cross section for the full length and it is a 3D space truss. We do have different tower sections based on height, so we do have a wider section for heights up to 100'-0". So the take away is, I could use group section...
Good Afternoon, I have a truss tower made up of rectangular/square sections and usually I analyze the tower using a Finite Element program. However, I have to analyze the same tower (cross section wise for the full length of the tower) for different heights (tower 1 is 20 ft high while tower two...
I was given this to analyze and see if it works, for my client a pipe would be optimal. So i want to show that it either works or it doesn't, but i want to make sure i am doing the analysis correctly. There is just no guidance as to how much splice length is required for clamping two surfaces...
The pipe is expected to support an antenna and it's a moment connection at the top of the pipe. They use the movement to direct the antenna up or down. Once the antenna is directed in the correct direction than they will clamp the pipe
I am working on an analysis where a 1.5 inch pipe is sandwiched between two plates and the plates are welded to a base plate that is bolted into the ground. There are 2 thru bolts that connect the two outer plates to the pipe, the top bolt is the pivot bolt and the bottom is a slotted hole for...
