I have a client that is interested in building an artificial swimming lake in a new subdivision. It would be close to a natural lake (that isn't good for swimming in this area) and wetland and the groundwater is high. This is out of my expertise but I was hoping for some feedback on general...
I'm a structural engineer but need some advice. Ive done lots of pipe supports and racks with piping engineers before but in this case we dont have a pipe stress engineer involved. Yet.
We have a 36inch diameter pipe that's 20ft off the ground and about 90ft long before it elbows down into the...
I have an HSS brace that's in compression. It is being connected at one end with 2 channels. The channels would be welded to the brace at the four corners of the HSS. Is there an eccentric moment in the channels/HSS from the compressive force? If so, is it M = C x e where 'e' is the distance...
Is anyone familiar with CSA S16-09 Cl.13.6 e) which is for monosymmetric bending? I am trying to check a wide flange beam reinforced with a WT on the underside. The monosymmetric parameter, Bx, does not seem to work for this case and gives me moment resistance values less than the unreinforced...
Does anyone know if any load tests have been conducted on a simply supported beam with beams framing perpendicularly into it? I want to see what, if any, lateral support they provide to the primary beam. I know typical convention is to simply add horizontal bracing to the top flange. AISC...
I'm doing some preliminary sizing of steel trusses for an exhibition hall. One set of them spans 150' and has 30' tributary width with 300psf live loading (yes it's big) and a 5.5" slab on deck. Unfortunately, for various reasons, our firm wasn't able to be responsible for layout so I can only...
