I'm curious, but ill-equipped to analyze: if I have an aluminium can, let's say 12 oz volume. I fill it with water and nitrogen, to create a 2 Atm internal pressure so it is structurally robust (i.e. can be stacked). My understanding is that the can is capable of withstanding 6 Atm of pressure...
I'm brand new to Draftstyle (first day: pretty impressed), and am just using it for some very simple arch details right now.
I want to use the Batting linestyle to add insulation to my details. It works reasonably well in model space, but fails on Sheets:
vs.
The problem is one of scale...
I'm hoping to get some opinions.
Very short summary: Assume existing, older, small, flat residential roofs with framing that don't meet modern code by a significant margin. Should it be generally allowable to add solar to them (on the order of 4 psf) without engineering (which, as explained...
I have to look over engineering analyses of uplift of beams attached to the top of a brick wall. The wall is 12" wide multiwythe unreinforced solid brick, the uplift force is typically between about 300 and 1000#. I'm not an engineer but my physics background helps me follow the reasoning and...
