I'm reviewing the screw that anchor the aluminum jamb of a swing door to the supporting structure and i'd like your opinon on the screw design.
My engineering colleague believes that the screws that anchor the door's jamb to the substrate should be designed for prying-tension load due to the...
I am currently being asked to design a double HSS that is subject to torsion along its length. The HSS at the back is supported by the concrete wall at its end (torsion resisted), and the front HSS, which I am designing, is planned to be attached to the front face of the back HSS with either...
I'm getting different moment of inertia value between the hand calculation and the section property from Shapebuilder (IES) program.
I'm trying to determine the moment of inertia of built up section composed of two cold formed steel channel (2 x 600S162-54).
The section property of 600S162-52...
I have a 2 story house design project where i need to check the shear wall at the large garage opening.
I have included the house sketch in the attachment. There is a wall inside of the garage and I want to know if this wall can be considered for shear wall calculation? Thank you...
I have a cold formed stud (600T200-54) that is supported both ends with overhanging supports symmetrically (See attached drawing).
The linearly distributed load over the beam is 6kN/m, the span between the support is 1200mm and overhang length is 550mm at each end.
And when I'm analyzing this...
I'm trying to do hand calculation to check the moment diagram i'm getting from SAP 2000 for the attached diagram.
The horizontal beam (top & bottom ) is HSS 6"x3"x1/8" and continues between the support that are 6m distance to each other.
The vertical frames are pin connected between the top...
Hi,
I'm desperately looking for some help with calculation of vertical deflection of cold formed stud wall as shown in the attached drawing.
The stud wall is sheathed with 1mm thickness of steel sheet attached to the vertical stud members.
The approximate self weight of the stud wall is...
Hi All,
I'm looking for some help in determining the diaphragm strength of cold-formed steel frame with a steel sheet (not corrugated).
The frame is 7m width and 3m tall that comes with one opening.
Specifically, I need to verify if the system works when the fixed anchor is placed at the...
Could someone help me with the calculation of flexural strength of the clip when it is subjected to the 2kN as shown in the attached drawing?
I would appreciate it if someone tell me what to check when this clip is subjected to the load as shown on the attached drawing.
Thank...
Hi All,
I have a question how to calculate the stress in steel angle when its subjected to eccentric dead and wind load. I attached the diagram in this thread with dimension of the angle and the value of wind and dead loads. I also attached the stress value from the simulation in the Solidwork...
Hi Everyone,
I am designing the screw to transfer the shear load from the 1/4" thickness of steel plate to the underside of the HSS beam.
If there is 3/4" thickness of the plywood between the steel plate and the u/s of HSS beam, will this introduce a bending stress on the designed screw...
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to find the reaction load at point A using the double integration method. (I know there are simple and less time consuming method than double integration).
The problem I have is, I'm getting different reaction load when I compare it with the reaction load I get from...
Hello Everyone,
I need some help with analyzing the strength of the angle leg when the uniformly distributed load is applied in perpendicular to the angle leg. (See the attachment)
As shown in the attached drawing, the angle size is 5"x5"x1/4" thickness with 49 inch length and applied with...
Hi, I have a question regarding the calculation for the required thickness of the gusset plate when is used for stiffening the bending of the steel angle. (See attached drawing) Without the gusset plate, the moment resistant of the steel angle is insufficient to resist the moment created by the...
