Hello Gents,
When it comes to FEM rigorous buckling analysis using software (say SAP2000 or Etabs), what buckling factor limit would be reasonable. For now i assumed 1/0.9 = 1.11 (0.9 is Phi for compression).
To verify this assumption, i have modeled a plate mesh on SAP2000 (PL 1000x30 mm)...
Hello Folks,
I have elevated vessel mounted on braced legs, for which i am verifying the seismic design. Going through ASCE 7-22, clause 15.4.6 as well as 15.7.10.3, the P-delta effects shall be based on inelastic seismic displacements which does make sense for such inverted pendulum like...
Hello,
I have a group of tanks which shall be verified under seismic actions. My question is that API clearly doesn't count on anchors to resist seismic loads based on clause E.7.6 "No additional lateral anchorage is required for mechanically-anchored steel tanks designed in accordance with...
Hello everyone,
I am structural engineer with a specialty in steel structures and i am currently employed in a "low scale" company. i love steel structures but i would also like to learn more about RC structures.
the questions is: How can i find a structural engineering (both steel and RC)...
Hi,
i have the following connection which is RHS250x150x12.5(beam) directly welded (CJP) to SHS180x180x12.5 / SHS150x150x12.5(column), the angle was provided as a seat and it was supposed to be removed after welding three sides of the beam then weld the lower side.
Now i have been told that...
I am a structural engineer working in a steel structures fabrication and design company, the problem is and because the company isn't a consulting firm we only carry out the connections design and rarely members selection, an issue that make me find my self out of the road !
Now i want start...
