Designing a truss (~125ft) using ETABS. Need some clarification/confirmation on assumptions. The truss supports concrete roof/deck. In ETABS, I have top and bottom chords are modeled as short elements spanning between panel points (understand it is not necessary but for ease of load application...
Designing a truss in ETABS and have a query regarding slenderness check done by the software. For the length part, I am considering full length with (K = 1.0). On running design in ETABS, it fails the chord due to excessively large slenderness ratio in its plane. I understand that it is...
I am designing a connection under combined shear and axial loading on a WF beam framing to WF column. If the center of connection material (shear tab or double angle) needs to be placed vertically offset from the centerline of the WF beam due to some constraints, is there an additional...
