Hard to say from the picture of course - it may or may not have an influence. how heavy is the bag?

Dlubal has a large database across EU sections: https://www.dlubal.com/en/cross-section-properties/ I know you can export PDF pages but not sure about excel.

I'm not sure if you have availability of these over in the states, but I would typically specify multiple 'box' lintels Link If you then need to pick up the outer leaf of masonry, a beam with a plate to the bottom would work on the outside.

My understanding was the main issue was pertaining to the heat treatment (as you and others make note of). I try to design out the need for welding the nuts, some of the ways are: - Using a tapped hole in the plate, instead of a nut. - Using steel stabs to locate the nut and stop it spinning. -...

As others have said, probably the easiest option is tek screwing a light gauge angle to one side of the existing purlin. If the snow drift condition is your only concern then it should be straightforward enough. In the past I have also introduced additional purlins to reduce the roof sheet...

Afternoon All, I'm not sure if it's been shared on this forum before, but the UK has a reporting scheme for engineers to anonymously report safety issuesthey come across either through observations on site or projects they are involved in. It's to act as a share of knowledge more than anything...

I cover these as 'general exclusions' in all fee quotes, however will usually offer to handle any of the additions under separate fee quote or hourly rate. Sometimes they can be quite lucrative!

Having worked for a few companies I've seen different systems implemented: Spreadsheets - Free, but as everyone has open access it soon becomes chaotic. Harvest (https://www.getharvest.com/) - The subscription gives access to time tracking, reporting and invoicing. As simple or complex as you...

A picture might help - but what I'm imagining is that you do not have a square contact of the nut face to the baseplate face? Depending on what loads are anticipated in the column and the duration of the column in this temporary state are likely to be factors in your decision to intervene with...

Infact - with reference to IdeaStatica.... I often find the user manual for software a great place for equations and calculation references. Here is the link to Canadian code checks: https://www.ideastatica.com/support-center/check-of-components-according-to-cisc

Similarly to the AISC documents, across the water in Europe there are numerous good resources (with worked examples): https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/a/a9/SCI_P358.pdf https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/5/5d/SCI_P398.pdf Irrespective of code checking, the principles are largely...

The design process is largely similar, you just have different end/ edge distances and bearing allowances. Ref EN1993-1-8: Table 3.3 for end/ edge distances. Table 3.4 for bearing allowance.

Whilst Eurocode itself is not an appropriate code, What you are essentially doing is applying a load factor of 1.50 to your action (setdown/ tieback load). There are more appropriate codes that you can use for subsea design (DNV, API etc.) they may even allow you to use a lower load factor (if...

Loti_eng I haven’t received any email yet, try again perhaps?

I did promise I would update you all on this thread... thread731-511141 The TLDR: Today is my final day of employment and I start my own business on Monday! Unfortunately, the situation with my previous employer did not resolve itself, despite numerous frank discussions and offering solutions...

Happy to help, I'm based in the UK and use Eurocodes as my primary source. Feel free to email me (via my profile), and we can see if it's a fit.

thanks for your insights, I always find it interesting when someone with a military background transitions out and picks up a regular job. From the service people I know, they have a broad knowledge base and are generally well rounded in terms of their skill set. We’re quite similar with...

Another successful trawl in the eng-tips forum has led me to this old thread from 2006. Link One of my aspirations is to start my own company someday, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to share some of their more recent stories of how they got started.

The classic answer of 'it depends' applies here - I wouldn't say there is a defining criteria when to use each method so you will have to use your judgement on a project by project basis. I frequently use both approaches, but tend to use design resistances for 'typical' structural frames...

We tend to get involved in these types of repair in the UK quite regularly. As dik rightly highlights, the cause of cracking needs to be determined as the first priority. Our typical process is to determine if the cracking is: - Historic (i.e. occurred when originally built) and not active. -...
