    Single-bolt bracing connection

    Yes, you are correct the eccentricity of the connection will be 1/2*tp1+1/2*tp2. I think you could increase the edge distance to counter act the "torsion" type moment. Just draw the FBD and design for the prying action and shear-tension. Make sure you design the plates for the weak axis...

    Using facades as supports for floor vibration analysis

    I have a few comments: 1) If you are looking at structure, the façade (non-structural component) does not count. For a variety of reasons, primarily, redesign will be required etc. I am not for using "non-structural" as structural just because you think you need it. 2) What material is the...

    To keep things adjustable you can use oversized holes as well

    The tensions bolts will deform, calculate the elongation

    Maximum Bolt Spacing

    For one, you need to layout the bolts plate to be compatible with the yield lines from the AISC design guide equations. I am sure AISC can answer the question directly as well. thanks

    Career crisis

    For some perspective, Elon Musk says business managers need to focus on engineering and get there hands dirty, not just all these ridiculous endless meetings. Working on some real engineering problems will make you much more valuable than "business development" experience, even if you want to...

    I was speechless when my manager said “Why do you work hard? Who told you to do that?”

    If I was told that I would apply for a new job that pays more. Your manager is a ****** so either he will advance you or you leave

    When should I tell my employer I am looking for other employment

    Do NOT tell your employer. Never tell a current employer anything. Any if you work at a small firm / family firm that means your opportunity for advancement / pay is limited. I recommend you apply and find the highest bidder.
