Thank you KootK for your quick response!! Thanks for providing a major distinction. What you said about instances of equipment supports makes me wonder if I can then use inverted-pendulumn type structure for my "Structure 2" as mentioned in 4) in the original post. ASCE "Guidelines for seismic...
Hello All
I am writing to seek clarification in ASCE 7 Inverted Pendulum Structures vs cantilever column systems and discuss/seek answers to questions on (2) real world scenario I am facing. Inverted Pendulum type Structures are defined in chapter 12.2.5.3. The commentary C12.2.5.3 states it...
Thank you guys for your response.
@ DrZoidberWoop Lets say I use one transverse stiffeners on each side of the web of a W beam (flange width 8 in) and I have precast planks on either side of the web sitting on the flanges (4" bearing for either side of planks) and my load per flange is...
Hello everyone
I have read several posts here regarding local flange bending due to concentrated load due to wheel loads on bottom flange. But I have not come across any discussion on Steel I Beam supporting precast planks or load Bearing walls (Lets say 10k/ft)
My questions are
1) how do you...
JAE, I understand your procedure and the logic behind it. But isnt it same as a precast beam bearing on a precast column. The construction practices in India are not this sophisticated (do not even incoporate elastometric pad on small projects especially). The currect practice over there is not...
P.O.: Construct the connection such that only axial forces are carried by the column due to gravity loads. Acts like a leaning column in a steel frame.
Thanks again
Thank you JAE for your reply. I am talking about both. No "rigid" joint for the purpose of lateral forces. The forces could be both shear and moment. Basically, I want to separate the column from the lateral resisting system. And achieve that in cast-in place concrete. Chapter 21 of ACI has...
Hi
Any ideas on how to achieve pin connection at the top of an interior column and rigid concrete beam? My intention is to have that interior column not to resist seismic lateral forces. I know you can never truly have actual pin connection in concrete members but for the practical purpose of...
