Hi, I know this may come a little late but I thought I could maybe help you out. Many of the comments here are pretty good in terms of suggesting what you should do (as in do what makes you happy) however there is more to life than the here and now. When I was a little younger I enjoying...

Hi everyone, I’m trying to work out the shear force between two ply boards screwed together and I’m not too sure how to do it. Basically we require 2 sheets of 24mm ply to be screwed together to act as one. How would I work out the shear force between the two ply members if I know the applied...

Nutte and all others, I really hope I havent come across dismissive. I really appreciate everyone's input, I've already learned lots by listening to your points of view and from now will try to get involved within these forums as they are a great place to bounce ideas around! I've been at Uni...

Long term user of TEDDs and can only say good things about the software, bit of a pain wth error trapping but apart from that its top. Easy to use, well laid out calculations and a good staritng point for calcuations people are not to used too.

But it has come from somewhere, I mean someone didn’t just wake up one day and decide that’s the figure to use. As with all elements in codes they have been based on sound engineering knowledge, much more specialist than anyone here is involved. There is a correct method of carrying out a...

As TJ has mentioned I wanted to find out how to do it correctly and not just guesstimate. There is a correct way to approach the problem and that is what is I felt important. Lion, I fully appreciate that it would take you much less time if you just approximated but for the sake of 10 minutes...

Thanks to all for contributing. Like I had mentioned I’m relatively new to structural engineering however I always believe we should work to the actual values rather than approximations (is this not what load factors are for?). Personally I need to calculate these values as I don’t have the bank...

Thanks a bunch TJ, its really appreciated.

Sorry I've put the I value of the cross section, this should be the I vale of the rectangular flange only.

So would this be something like: M=650kNm at brace Area of compression flange= 4486mm^2 I=111444cm^4 Axial Force in Column=430kN M/I=F F*Area of compression flange=CF CF*tan Angle=Compression Force the angle has to resist I don’t quite understand why you would require the compressive force...

Thanks TJ but I like the idea of working it out. Shows that I'm thinking about it. I'm pretty new to structural engineering so trying to be accurate. Thanks again for the reply!

How do you calculate the force in a compression flange based on the moment? Hi, I am trying to calculate how much force is in the compression flange of a portal column based on its moment. I have to design a torsional restraint (capable of withstanding 2.5% of the force of the compression...
