Oh man, thanks for clarifying T Bat. You and dik are exactly correct. I misunderstood the constraint. Thanks for all your help @dik & @T_Bat

AWS states that maximum fillet weld for thin walled material is a) the size of the material if it is less than 1/4" or b) 1/16" less than the size of the fillet weld for welds equal to or greater that 1/4". On the weld the thinner member dictates, so for this specific weld, the maximum fillet...

@dik It is excessive, and forbidden according to good practices, hence the post because I was hitting a wall with this base connection. @driftLimiter I guess I didn't think CJP was an option at the base plate because I had never seen it done. But if allowed it would solve my problem. And yes...

I am attempting to design a base plate connection for a HSS 3.5"x3.5"x3/16" Column. It is a cantilevered awning that is creating a rather large moment about the base. I calc'd that I would need a 3/8" fillet weld around the member to resist the moment, but the 3/16" thickness of the HSS column...

Hey guys, I just have a general question about drawings. I have a road with an S-Curve. The existing road was built along a section line, however, it is a local road that was built offset from the section line. At the other end, it is the exact same deal, just offset to the other side...

Great Post. I have ran into similar situations where I have a random node giving obviously wrong data. Glad you were able to solve it. Curious as to the solution for running around the OWS. Are you guys proposing a larger structure designed for bypassing or a separate structure from the OWS...

How are you connecting the concrete box culvert to the steel pipe? Also, why is it necessary to have a manhole every 20m? On a cursory glance that seems excessive without any additional info. To answer the question about equivalency, I would use Manning's to see how the steel pipe will convey...

Thanks guys. And yes you are correct, they usually come back and say they have no utilities after emailing the investigations address. I like to at least get that reply saying they don't have anything just in case.

Hi All, I am having a hell of time trying to contact someone at Verizon to utility maps. I am in Arizona, and have used the 811 design ticket and have emailed them at their investigations@verizon.com about a month and a half ago. Does anyone have any tips for contacting them. A corporate...

I graduated in Kentucky where being an EIT is a legal standing with the Kentucky Board of Engineers and Land Surveyors. You have to register with the board upon graduating to start the four year timer. I promptly moved to Michigan for my first job where this is not the case, but I still have...

I currently have a client that has a few illicit storm connections from floor drains(the building is almost 100 years old). Now I know that BMP dictate that interior floor drains, regardless of purpose, be connected to the sanitary system, but was wondering what lawful document would dictate...

I noticed that there is a Rosgen Stream classification for a Silt/Clay (A6a+) and a Sand (A5a+) for streams with slopes greater than 10%. Is this possible? And if so, how does it occur? Can it occur naturally? I would think that naturally anything with a slope larger than 10% would have...

Hi all, I was thinking about how the minimum slopes came to be in the 10 states standards manual for storm and sanitary design criteria. Does anyone know how the slopes that are used came to be? How do we know an 8-inch sanitary line needs a minimum slope of 0.4% and not 0.35%. Just a thought...

Hey guys, Anybody know of a good distributor to get a lot of KMnO4 powder from. I'm doing a cost analysis on leachate treatment right now and after some tests this was the best option but it is apparently not worth the hole in the wallet. On a side note, any other recommendations for treating...

Hey, thanks everyone for the input... decided to just throw in a junction box and get the pumps away from the yard, making the hatch a little less heavy duty. It actually ended up being a little cheaper. Definitely going to keep Neenah in mind for future projects though.

I am currently having trouble covering a manhole, cue to all these extra little things I have to worry about. I have been racking my brain for a solution and have looked through way to many catalogs. Here are all the things I am worrying about: 1. The hole has to be 48"x30" 2. The hole is...
