What moment arm would you consider for designing the weak-axis flexure induced in the plate?
My thought is that it would be the "b" dimension I show in the image given that the...
Hi All,
I am performing a FEM analysis using RISA 3D for the bearing of a plate on a concrete wall. In order to do this I need to figure out what kind of stiffness modulus [units: kip/in^3] to apply to my spring. How would I go about calculating this based on my concrete strength fc'?
Thanks
