Does AISC 360 include any design recommendation or requirements for longitudinal stiffeners and longitudinally stiffened webs of plate girders? Also, I can not find any requirement for shear lag effective width due to flexible shear stiffness of deck plates (stiffened by T beams or similar...

AISC GD 4 is based on yielding line calculations of the column and beam flanges which is understandable. However, AISC DG 13 recommends to prevent yielding of column flanges under tensile flange forces which can not be found in the DG 4. Why is that and which design guide must be referenced for...

How to define primary stress component perpendicular to the shown surface along the given edge I can create user defined stress component along the edge as below but I can only use built-in stress components. I am not sure how to work out stress perpendicular to the required surface

Good day Everybody, I am writing concerning with effective plate width. As shown in the attachment a plate in 10 mm thickness is simply supported by two sides. Load is applied through 4 rectangular upper plates which are not welded or fixed onto the main plate. For section modulus the effective...

Hi All, I have a question which we used to solve at university but to be fare I become a bit wee rusty on this now, so would appreciate if someone gives me a hand. Basically, there is an item which travels down the incline under 30 deg and flies out after some point. Need to find out max...

Hi All, Sticking around calculation of this type problem, decided to put them into dispute. To be fear I have never dealt with it but would like to have a general notion. Is it easy to calculate the efficiency of system or it demands much experience or where to refer to? Is there specialized...

Hello All, I am asked to design pre-drilled plate that will allow the bolting on of future arrangements. But unfortunately dimensions between holes(both in horizontal & vertical)can vary. I am thinking to have some rows of horizontal slots but it will let me play in horizontal distance. In this...

Good day All, Actually I am trying to define design load that needs to be applied on structure. This sentence is from the standard - ''The calculation of maximum effective weight shall include possible trapped water (when filled out of water) and possible suction when lifted from the sea...

Hello All, Can anybody let me know which loads should be taken into account designing subsea basket? Thanks in advance. Ulvi.

Good day All, Can anybody give me a hand in order to find out what kind of steel channel it is - 66 x 38. Depth is 66 mm, width is 38 mm. Flange thickness is enough big comparing with other king of U channels around 25-26 mm. By the way flanges are not parallel. These dimensions have been...

Good day Mates, I am requested to prepare a Design Procedure. It would be deeply appreciated if someone gave me a hand. My main questions are: - Where to refer? - What are the main criteria’s that should be taken into account? Many thanks in advance. Ulvi.

Hi Gents, I am a Structural Engineer. Normally I design structures by means of Inventor professional, Solidworks, AutoCAD, Staad pro. Aditionally I refer to my handmade calculations as well. But know I want to get some skills in order to manage software’s like Autodesk Revit & Autodesk Robot...

Gents, Can anybody let me know what Dynamic Amplification Factor depends on? Thanks in advance. Ulvi

Good day Gents, It is first time I design a lifting beam as per DNV 2-22. In the standard test load amount is calculated with 2 x SWL. Now my first question is why standard does not consider Tare weight (dead load/self-weight) into account. Additionally is there any way to calculate DAF in...
