    Importing Staad pro CE model to RISA 3D.

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if you are able to import a Staad pro CE model into RISA 3D. I only need the geometry model to import to RISA 3D , I can just input the load cases myself. Thanks in advance!

    Anchor rod Bearing Area

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know where I could find the Bearing Area for a 0.5in Diameter Rod or how to calculate it. I am currently doing the Anchor Rod Concrete Pullout strength calcs. I checked AISC Deisgn huide but the lowest is a 5/8in diameter rod. Abrg in ACI 318 Also where do i find the...

    Effective length factors for beam column

    Okay thanks a lot. Yeah the flanges are at the top and bottom. How come you crossed out the section of the W24 to the left of the W8? Do i just take into account W24 section to the right?

    Effective length factors for beam column

    Im only asking because the lead engineer wants me to actually use the alignment charts and it just wasnt making sense since this is a diagonal beam.

    Effective length factors for beam column

    Since I am assuming a Fixed-pin condition then both Kx and Ky would be 0.8?

    Effective length factors for beam column

    I am following the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specs Section 6.9.4.2.1. I need the Kx and Ky values. What would be the appropriate values for this if i assumed a fixed-pin case.

    Effective length factors for beam column

    Hi there, I have a diagonal beam-column. I am looking for some guidance on how to find the effective length factors Kx and Ky for a diagonal beam-column. I searched up some example online but column is positioned in an upright position, and not diagonally positioned. The beam-column is fixed to...

    Friction Coefficient or Slip Critical Bolts

    Hi there, I am doing some research on friction coefficients for slip critical bolts. I am looking for the friction coefficient for SSPC-SP11 and SSPC-SP15 on surfaces with primer. If anyone has any guidance with this, that would be great. Thanks in advance!
