OK, I have searched and searched and even emailed old professors but I can't find an example of how to calculate the required spacing of rebar in concrete shear walls. Maybe its because it is never a big concern and usually the concrete has sufficient shear strength. I usually dont ever deal...
Attached is a drawing of a braced frame I am working on. It is my first one that I have done and the firm I work at hasn't done any braced frames before. We mainly do residential stuff and this is a small warehouse we are currently working on. My question is about the line of the brace, working...
Note: I already posted this in "Structural Engineeringa and Other Technical Topics" Forum but I thought people in this forum might be more likely to have knowledge of this:

I am attempting to program a second order (geometrically nonlinear) plane frame analysis based on the Direct Analysis Method in AISC (reduced stiffness, notional loads, etc.) to use for designing Moment Frames. I already programmed a first order plane frame analysis program in C++ that works...
Can an ordinary moment frame use an RBS connection? We have always done this and used the appropriate R and Omega values, but AISC 358-10 5.2 seems to suggest that RBS connections can only be used in SMF and IMF. Am I missing something? Thanks.
I am in my first year out of college and where I work we use tables similar to those found here to size wood posts, but we never check the compression perpendicular to grain bearing. When I asked the principals why we didn't they didn't really give me a satisfactory answer (we just don't worry...
