Qshake, I am a resident of the St. Louis area and scheduled to take the SE-1 in Illinois this Oct.. Do you kow why they always only offer those review courses for the spring test. It seems like more people would be taking it in the fall? Anyway, do you know who the contact would be at SIUE...

Thank you for your replies. I am fully aware of the AISC spec and combined loading. However, I would agree that AISC and other building codes are not applicable to this type of analysis. I was somewhat vague in my initial post. What I have are four built up beams that tie into a tube column...

I am doing FEA for a complicated connection in a steel framed building. I am in search of a code or reference that would provide me with an allowable stress or strength of the steel. It seems that the AISC manual does not apply as I do not have simple bending, tension or compression forces. I...

I was wondering if anyone has any information/codes on using tapped bolts for structural/ building applications. I have talked with AISC and they are really no help. I have a european client and they use this type of fastener all of the time. I know that it is used in many other industries in...

I found a good program that you can down load to help you design cold form steel. Its called CFS and the light version can be down loaded for free at www.rsgsoftware.com.

The aluminum column is considerably larger and stiffer than the steel tube. I don't believe a non-convergent condition existis here. As for corrosion the steel is galvanized and the aluminum is painted, the structure is also inside in a controlled enviroment diminishing the thermal effects...

I am designing an aluminum tube column with a steel tube insert to help increase the capacity. The two columns are the same length and are adequately connected along the whole length. The member has lateral wind loads and therefore acts as a beam column.I am designing so that all of the axial...
