    Slender steel column: Linear FEA vs Moment Magnification

    Apologies if this seems like an elementary question, but I haven't been able to confirm the answer searching here or elsewhere. Given: a slender steel column with a downward vertical force P at the top and a sideways force P, also at the top. Assume the material is in the elastic region and...

    ASD Footing with an LRFD Structure

    Older PE here. I admit I'm rusty and I'm doing my best to get up to current methods and standards. Project is a self-supported lattice tower with a simple gravity mass footing. Tower mfr. shared some sample calcs with me. Calcs show LRFD basis for wind force and sizing the lattice members...
