Above thread was closed but this relates. My question is in regards to an unequal leg angle in bending about the geometric axis, which resolves both into major principal and minor principal axis bending. Eq. (F10-6) gives the major principal axis bending capacity. But what...
Per ASCE 7-05, is "h" in Fig. 6-21 the height of the (rooftop) structure from the base of that (rooftop) structure (i.e. roof elevation of the main/supporting building) to the top of that (rooftop) structure (vs. from grade elevation)? All other "h" references (except for Fig. 6-21, e.g. Sec...
Can anyone point me to a good reference for the design of shallow circular (cylindrical) foundations? This is pretty much like a Sonotube-type foundation. This would be a new foundation where a hole is drilled into an existing grade slab (4 inch thick), the earth is dug out up to 4 feet below...
My previous employer was very lax about formal checking of calculations (specialized industry), and now my current employer has an extremely formal checking process. I am not very comfortable and take longer than I should with checking other engineers' calculations due to rarely if ever been...
In Figure 13-3(d) from AISC 13th Ed., is there a moment due to Rb? The only moment shown is from Mb = Hb x eb. Isn't there a couple generated by Rb? Say we take moments about the w.p., isn't there a moment due to Rb equal to Rb times the distance between the w.p. and the cut/section?
Can anyone point me to any references regarding how to design a gusset plate when not at a beam-column joint (i.e. for a knee brace away from a column or for chevron/x-bracing at the midspan of a beam)? I've read that the UFM (Uniform Force Method) or KISS method are not appropriate for this...
