All,
I am trying to apply for my PE by comity in Montana. I am required to fill out a "Montana Engineer Licensing Law and Rule Questionnaire"
I am running into an issue however. Many of the questions, I am able to find referenced in Montana law, however when viewing in the engineer.mt.gov...
I designed some steel girders... The way the fabrication shop "nested" the flanges on the steel plate, was so that it was skewed and not orientated with the grain of the plate. The flanges were skewed approximately 14 deg from horizontal - direction of the grain. My boss is currently out on PTO...
Ladies and gents,
I am in the process of designing a double web plate girder, the girder tapers towards the ends. At the center of my plate girder, where the flanges are the widest is where my questions applies.
I have been treating my double web plate girder as a box girder, using section F7...
Is it possible to model double web plate girders in Risa?
I have been doing some hand calculations to determine my bending capacity in a double web plate girder. I used a structural analysis software used in the offshore industry (SACS) that has the ability to model double web plate girders to...
We have a custom built large crane that has been in service for roughly 15 years in a marine environment. We are in the process of replacing the hoisting wire rope, but due to access constraints will not be replacing our pendant lines.
We have x-rayed the pendant lines and have not found any...
Good-morning,
Thought I would check on here before contacting Hilti, but I am having an issue with the Profis software where it does not allow me to change embedment depth. Specifically, I am using ASD so that I can spec out an HCA mechanical anchor because that is what we have been using. It...
Hello ladies and gents,
I decided to post this in the structural section because it has more traffic than the RISA forum...
I am having an issue with some results RISA is giving me for a wall panel analysis I am doing. I will be submitting this question directly to RISA as well and will...
Gents,
I am working on a job where we are on an offshore jetty that we are installing pipe in. We have a 32" diameter pipe that is 35' long that we need to move from one side of the jetty to the other over a concrete roadway. My superintendent is looking for a pipe cradle cart, or something of...
I work for a large construction company, and we outsource our scaffolding to a very large scaffolding company. Per my company policy I need to review all 3rd-party engineered plans.
Recently I reviewed a plan to use 6x6 timber to span 17.5' (16in OC). I found an error in that they were using...
I will have the necessary PE experience beginning July, 2016 which will allow me to get my application in the nick of time for the October, 2016 PE exam.
I have done a decent job cataloging my experience by creating folders of all the work I have done on my computer. I need to start putting...
As a structural guy I rarely deal with tight tolerances, but I have a situation where I would like two holes on separate plates to be parallel to each other.
Problem: Lifting a relatively light tank (80 kips) but it has the weirdest lifting eyes (5.5in Diameter hole) which would require a very...
Hello,
My company is doing some work in a plant that has an existing horizontal lifeline comprised of wire rope that runs to a turnbuckle which is connected to an anchor plate in concrete columns. I do not have any details on the embedment for the anchor bolts in the anchorage point and I was...
Good-Morning, this is my first post so thank you for the help in advance.
I am using Hilti Profis to help in my first design of post-installed undercut anchors (I mainly deal with steel design).
I noticed that the software assumes a completely rigid baseplate, which distributes tensile loads...
