I sincerely apologize for the breach in etiquette noted above and will make sure I reference this accident in the future. Thank you Denial. As a side note, I have decided to add an additional independent cable to make things more simple and alleviate any liability associated with the existing...

If I'm understanding this correctly, you will need to calculate the pullout strength of the adhesive anchor in the concrete. See attached. Then you will have to base your tension force in the steel on this strength when you are calculating your available moment. This may or may not yield the...

Thanks RobyengIT. This could work if I can find some design values from a vendor or other design documentation. I will do some research on this and post what I find. In the mean time, any other posts are welcome for this system or other connection options! Thanks again all! Dustin

Hello All! I have an existing structure consisting of (2) Frames constructed from 10" pipes (see attached, not my design! :)). Currently the 1 3/8" cable is draped over the round pipe horizontal members. An analysis of this as a frictionless pulley has shown the columns are overstressed due to...

If you are wanting to practice structural engineering my vote is for structural dynamics which will help you with seismic design. Then I would recommend the advanced structural analysis, concrete, steel and foundation design.

Thank you very much for the reply. For others reading I should clarify that 7.7.2 refers to "adjacent structures" so the 2 buildings are not in contact (s<20ft). The windward drift we are discussing is resulting from wind blowing from the lower roof towards the higher structure. The result...

Team, I am a bit confused as to why Section 7.7.2 in ASCE7-10 requires "windward" drift load. I am picturing the snow blowing off of this location into the area between the buildings. Unless there is some kind of wind stoppage force due to higher structure I am not understanding. Would...
