Greetings to all.
I am currently designing a steel framed building with metal roof deck supported by open web steel joist. The roof has a gable profile. The steel joist is spaced at 10 ft and sitting on wide flange girders. Based on my quick calculation, the rollover strength is not enough to...
Hi fellow steel framing gurus, how would you frame out the shaded area in the follow sketch? Would it be better to rotate the framing at that local area to align with the layout? I am leaning towards option b with orthogonal framings. I am not sure what the standard practice is to handle this...
I am designing a HSS through bolt connection only subject to shear.
AISC eq. 7-15 and spec. J7 give the equation to predict the bearing strength of HSS through bolt holes. Does anyone know if the bearing capacity given by 1.8FyApb or 1.8nFydt refer to only one side of HSS wall? In another...
Hello everyone,
I have recently studied direct analysis method introduced in AISC 2005. After reading lots of materials, I still have questions on my mind regarding situations where compression members have effective length factor k < 1. For example, the columns in a fully braced frame...
