Hi All, Is there any standard (preferably ISO) which says what line color should be for the following in a .dwg drawing, thanks in advance. Dimensions Text (i think it is cyan) Equipment Existing item/equipment/structure New item/equipment/structure

Hi All, for glass there is no yield stress as it is a brittle material. So the failure criteria for glass materials under a certain amount of external pressure will be the compressive strength? Any comments on this please?

Hi All, We have a truck with 1 battery, and have installed a second battery for additional components in the truck (both are 24 V). How can I confirm that the auxiliary power system will not cause under voltage of the starter batteries, and how can I calculate based on the consumption...

Hi All, One of the workshops I visited had a lifting beam and web slings. The lift beam is made from a I-Beam. The web sling has been wrapped around 1 or 2 times as the sling is long. Can you please advise 1. Is wrapping of a web sling permitted around a I-Beam, even if the edges on the beam...

Hi All, As per standard practice, a weldment item/part (made up of 2 or 3 different bodies) has a single file/part number. But how do you treat a weldment item/part which has a nutsert installed on it. Because once the nutsert is installed, you can't disassemble it. What are the best...

Hi All, I am working in a company where a weldment item is made up of 2,3 or more parts welded together. As per standard industry practice, this item will have a single part number. But here, they have give all different part numbers to the items welded in the weldment. So they consider this as...

Hi All, I am working on a mechanism where I need to rotate a load hanging with hoist trolleys on a round/circular I-Beam track. While simple torque calculations can be done by available data, the mechanism is not as simple. The hanging load, trolley roller friction, and load being on the...

Hi All, I have some value of kinetic energy, 1.82 kN.m which I want to apply to a steel circular hollow section member Dia. 140mm x 10mm thickness, 5m length. I want to apply this energy as a force. Is there a way I can apply this? Regards, HD

Hi All, Good day. Will a preloaded bolt only fail in shear or tensile stress, or combination of both? Or can it fail in bending as well? In comparison, a pin can fail in shear, tensile or bending loads, or combination of all three loads. Is there any literature or standard which states...

Hi, AISC has given the section modulus of equal rectangles (as shown for the rectangles on the left). Can someone please advise what is the section modulus of equal rectangles (axis of moments through the center of gravity) for the rectangles shown on right?. Please see attached file. Thanks in...

Hi All, I am modeling a container with 4 legged slings. Criteria is as per DNV 2.7-1. But when I run the analysis, the model is not converging. Please see attached load cases. All the 4 lifting slings has been modeled as tension only members, and spring supports on the 4 bottom corners in the X...

Hi All, Can someone please advise what is the acceleration values used when designing steel structures using IBC or ASCE codes? 1. What values are commonly used? 2. What are the maximum/worst case values? Thanks in advance. Regards, SubseaOcean

Hi All, Can someone please advise which is the best code/standards/rules for designing ONSHORE steel structures for the oil and gas industry. Does DNV have any such rules? I am familiar with DNV's rules/guides for OFFSHORE structures, but do not know if there is any with respect to ONSHORE. I...

Hi All, 1. Can you please advise what standards/procedures/rules we have to follow so that the containers are designed and manufactured to meet/be compliant with ABS requirements. 2. We need the containers to be ABS certified. The containers are Machinery Container, Control Container, Stores...

Hi All, Please see attached file. There is a element AB, with a point load at F. The point load has three components (in metric tonnes) in X, Y and Z directions. Can someone advise/calculate the equivalent forces in X, Y and Z directions on points A & B due to the point load F? Thanks in...

Hi All, Can someone please advise: 1. What material specification is used for offshore containers (no compliance to any classification body). 2. What material specification is used for offshore containers complying to DNV 2.7-1. A imperial and also a metric equivalent would be needed as we...
