Per ASCE 7-10:
When you are designing wood load bearing studs supporting low slope wood roof trusses, do you include an uplift value in your axial load determination due to wind? Do you use MWFRS (say Cp from Figure 27.4-1) or C&C? Say tributary/effective area is less than 700sf.
For the...
I have a situation where MEP needs a chase adjacent to a girder after the steel has been fabricated and erected. The floor system is composite metal deck on WF beams / girders. MEP needs 3 ft clear opening and the beams are spaced 9 ft apart. I've checked the girder considering concrete...
I'm designing a cantilevered CMU wall (no soil retention) in a high wind region of the US. I've sized my reinforcement for the applied moment due to wind and then I started to think about shear transfer into the footing. Since this is not a load bearing wall, the contribution from friction is...
I'm working on a steel office building where the lateral system consists of moment frames in both directions and I had a question with respect to typical practice for whether to camber the infill beams adjacent to the moment frame beams.
I've read that beams with moment connections should not...
