Hi
i am doing analysis on an inclined panel at degrees = theta.
the panel is supported on a small base -i want to check overturning.
i would like to achieve some knowledge on the wind force loading.
can you please assist me?
My thoughts: horizontal wind pressure gives the panel both...

Hi Guys,
i have a drawing with galvanising specifications as the general notes.
one note is "Baling" is not permitted. (it even has the " symbol, as if it is a colloquialism).
Does anyone know what Baling is and why it would be prohibited?

Hi,
Bit of an oddball one. I would like some advice if possible.
Client has a sheave block which supports rope over a 90 degree bend. (see below)
They're taking the sheave out for servicing and don't want it to bend over a sharp radius (fair enough) and have asked for a length of plastic...
Hi,
bit of an odd question. I have been asked to estimate forces on a crane gantry if the wheel is obstructed. I.e. breaks or snaggs on a rock.
i have the drive motor power (7.5 kW with stall torque of 142 N.m) but unsure if it is necessary to use.
surely if the gantry becomes obstructed...
Hi,
I have a job to check a rather unusual connection.
I have a I beam column terminating on the top of a rectangular hollow section.
the I beam is subject to tension, and is trying to 'rip' the wall of the hollow section out.
Checks which come to mind:
- shear of i beam area on hollow...
Hi Guys,
we have a coal stockpile which 'gravity feeds' an apron feeder (there are no vibrations, the coal just falls down into the apron).
we're looking at increasing the stockpile ehight.
can anyone help with derivation of vertical loads for the feeder?
can i just multiply the feeder area...
Hi All,
i have a pipe with a eccentric hanger. No point describing it too much, i've got a screenshot!
the plate will be welded circumferentially both sides in a fillet. the pipe will be ridgidly supported (i.e. can withstand the torsion) each end.
just wondering what checks i have to do on...
Hi
I've got my hands on a FEA package. where I have a simple geometry to analyse.
I am using plate elements, in a T connection. the plates are connected in practice with a fillet weld.
do I need to release the plate edges where they join?
More than happy to answer any questions as the...
ANyone have experience with MIT calc weld calcluator?
http://www.mitcalc.com/en/pr_welding.htm
i'm designing a frame and the trial verson i have seems to help out. just wondering how if I can know the calcs are good to use?
Hi
i have a circular plate (annulus) in which i propose to drill a hole and suspend a load through an eye bolt.
the plate is connected via full penetration weld to a shell of the same thickness on the inner side of the annulus.
just wanting to know what section property i should check for in...
Hello Forum
I have a beam which terminates at a concrete wall.
I do not know much about concrete design.
What are your thoughts on analysing it like a friction grip?
I could drill through the concrete, put a backing plate on and pre-tension the bolts. See the sketch below.
What is a...
Hi,
I'm starting out in a fairly small firm, and have a few battered and bruised texts floating around the office. i'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to books, and looking at startig my very own collection.
Can people list their 'go to' textbook?
(PS, not entirely relevant, but I am from...
hello
I have a lug on a beam loaded at a fleet angle.
this may be a very elementary question but am i ok to check for biaxial bending.
can't find any standards/examples that use torsion and biaxial bending.
Thanks for any help
HI
I am using an old steel design code (AS 3990) which desont use limit states.
it is an australian standard.
i am a bit confused. i will reference the clauses but explain if no on ehas the standard.
5.2 gives maximum permissible bending stress as 0.66 of yeild.
5.3 gives formulae for...
Hi,
I'm after some information about buckling restraints for beams. My understanding is that it reduces the effective length.
After pictures which demonstrate what a XX column restraint and YY column restraint are in real life.
I use Microstran (but assume its same for other structural code...
