Dear Sir,
I would like to ask your help or any hint in the procedure i have to follow to calculate the truss member forces.
Consider all distances as given, and also all forces that are externally applied as given.
The two supports are unknown (2 hinges)...
Dear Sir/Madam,
For a 2 storey garage that will have traffic of 8tons cars (max gross weight), i would like you to help me to the following:
According to Eurocode 1,there is a use of a characteristic single axis load Qk that should be considered during the design. SO, my question:
How is it...
Dear Sir/Madam,
On top-slabs of a concrete basement, 60kn/m2 will be applied (racking systems plus forklifts). I would like to tell me your thoughts, based on your experience.
My first approach is 30cm slab, with shear reinforcement. Beams 70x70cm (see attached) I analyzed the system and I...
Dear Sir/Madam,
In an industrial building, there is a floor of pallet racket systems and forklifts (FL3 type).
The UDL load that i was told to take in the analysis is 60kN/m2.
Question:
What safety factor is applied to this load by Eurocode? I couldn't find for "Industrial use (E2)".
Of course...
Dear friends,
i have a span of 18m. (see image below).
The purlins are in a 1,5 distance carrying a load of 2,2kN/m each.
I analysed the system using my software. A HEA 400 seems to be enough. But...i am new, i would think more reasonable a IPE450-500, and would like your thoughts/suggestions...
Dear Sir/madam,
i am analysing a structure that has a big span of 30m, so i think trusses (of the roof) are unavoidable, and the columns needed are HEB type.
Most trusses (of SHS section)that i have seen in my short engineering life are just lying above concrete columns.
Do you think that...
Dear sir/madam,
i have to analyse the attached curved structure. 5x5m approximate dimensions per span.
Which parts of the Eurocode would you refer into to calculate the wind load and the snow load?
I would choose:
"Figure 7.12, par.7.2.8 Vaulted roofs and domes-domes with circular base" of...
Dear Sir,
i would like to check a steel sheet slab that has concrete above for concentrated big load. Load is 60kN in an area of 0,1x0,1m2. The total slab thickness is 16cm (from down part of steel sheet to top of concrete layer).
Steel sheet thickness is 1,25mm. (image linked)
My friends, i have to study a concrete building in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah. The climate temperatures are known (see below).
Can someone make a building that is 43m continuous or should we make an expansion joint obligatory? I can't find any regulation that forces you to a "maximum allowable length"...
I was checking the Saudi Building Code and the Eurocode.
I try to find a Saudi Arabia map that concerns the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA). Instead, the only thing that i can find is 0,2sec spectral response acceleration (Ss) and 1 sec spectral (S1).
My software works on Eurocode,so it uses PGA...
maximum slosh wave height
Dear sir/madam,
i have to check the maximum slosh wave height, for a cylindrical tank. Can you help me apply the formula 0,84RSe (Tc1 )/ g of Eurocode 8? I am not sure how to find Se (Tc1 ).
It's a tank with radius R=3,6m, Height of tank 8,6 (8 m max level liquid)...
