Hi All, Attached the situation in the pic, under this loading, when the overhang portion has a column on top of it and has a point load. This creates a moment at the beam and column-A connection. which in turn will create an uplift load. So, this uplift will be resisted by the beam & column-B...

Hi All, Attached a pic of wind load on a wood frame. If individual joists and studs are designed as a portal frame (like beam & column) with structural connections capable enough to withstand the lateral push and uplift at the bottom. Then can I eliminate the need to check the end wall overall...

Hi All, When (3)-2x6 are sandwiched together with SDS screw connection and subjected to an axial load, for determining the shear capacity is the total load to be divided by the total number of screws in the connection or only row-wise (2-screws per row). So each row has to resist that shear...

Hi All, Attached a detail, where a steel saddle is welded to a plate which in turn is fastened to Concrete wall with anchors. As the saddle is welded to plate it creates a moment there also the plate at the top (1/3) is left free as the concrete wall is below the top height of the plate. 1. In...

Hi, When U-Fill (.5Mpa) is used as backfill in between a pit of two foundation walls, will it create any (lateral) force to the foundation walls like soil or it is just a huge piece of concrete block (once it's hardened) and its self-weight is transferred onto the soil beneath it and it...

Hi All, There is this situation of Joists running parallel to steel beam at roof level, but there is a difference in height between the End steel beam and the roof level. So the top flange of steel beam is not being braced or connected by the roof diaphragm (sheathing)directly and the LTB of...

Hi all, In case we need to support a concrete slab (patio) and considered it to be a structural slab. Should the dowel bars be at the top of slab and then into the foundation wall or the dowel at the bottom of slab then into the foundation wall. Attached an image of it, there is no bearing...

Hi, can anyone recommend how to attach a W steel beam to a 3#-(2x6) studs?, so that the beam is somewhat restrained at the connection and prevents the rotation of beam, though the beam is designed as a pinned connection still not sure whether it can just be rested on top of the 3#-(2x6) studs...

If a steel beam is placed in a beam pocket in a foundation wall and then grouted solid completely around the beam pocket, is this connection considered as a fixed connection?

Hi, Can a 12" Joists be connected to the bottom half of a 3x24" deep LVL 2.0E wood beam via face mount hangers. The LVLs are connected to wood columns studs. Will this connection withstand an overturning effect? as the LVL is loaded on only one side with a 4' parapet wall attached on top...

Hi, Its a 8" Hollow coreslab with 2" Concrete topping connection to a W10x33 steel beam. The connection (attached the connection detail) doesnt show shear studs on the compression (top) flange of the steel beam to resist lateral torsional buckling. However, it has fin plates and 4' Long...
