@jayrod12 Thanks for your reply. Is there a clause or code that states the numbers from Figure 4.1.7.12-A are used for the design of cladding / roof attachment?
Hello,
I am designing a canopy and I am seeking advice on how to apply my wind loading. From the 2020 NBCC, CL. 4.1.7.12 provides two sources of wind pressure, external wind pressure and net external wind pressure.
My question is how are these applied in my load combinations? Will my wind...
Hi all,
Has anyone designed a monorail that is connected to a cross brace? If so how did you go about the connection details? I am debating using an angle welded to the top of my monorail and then welding the flanges of the angle to the brace. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Please see...
Hello,
I am just curious as to what percent other engineers are using to account for things such as bolts, connections, paint, plates..etc. for their designs.
For context I am designing a monorail and there is some discrepancy in my office regarding whether or not 15% for connections is too...
Hi all,
I know this is a basic question but I am trying to refresh my memory. I have 9 300lb point loads on my sloped beam. In order to analysis my structure I wish to convert these point loads into a UDL.
For reference, my sloped beam is a staircase, the 300 lb point loads are what I am...
This is the roof of a dog house-like structure It is intended to protect objects from falling rocks and be moved by a loader with forks. We have decided to create a grillage pattern out of W6's and fill the pockets with concrete to keep the weight.
Thank you everyone for your help and ideas...
Thanks steveh49, I will do some research! They are sitting on the plate, we will be stitch welding them. My original sketch was just a concept design, sorry for the confusion.
We cannot use reinforcing rebar because the shear within the slab is MUCH lower than the shear produced by our load. Vc = 77 kN, Vf = 374 kN.
I have been instructed to create a combined section where I will be taking the shear capacity of the concrete, subtracting the area of the WTS, shear...
Hi all,
This type of project is new to our office and I was assigned to it before we realized how complicated it was. In other words, no-one in my office has designed something like this before. See the attached sketch for some clarity.
@JoelTXCive, it is a 1-way slab...
Hello all,
I am a new structural E.I.T and I am trying to design a slab that is encased with WT sections. How do I approach this design? How do I determine the required spacing between the WT sections?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
