Does anyone know where I can find the formula for the deflection along the x axis on a beam that is continuous over 3 supports but is loaded only along one span. I can find the max deflection but I want to graph the deflection

Does anyone have example of calculating the Cl in Wood Beam Design? I have looked at several well respected design programs and none agree on the Cl with the same set of data!

I WANT TO HAVE A DRAWING THAT SHOWS THE LOADING ON A BEAM THAT CHANGES AND PROTRAYS THE DATA THAT IS INPUTTED IN THE CELLS OF A SPREADSHEET.

Does anyone have a formula for Deflection of Simple Beam With uniform load partially distributed. All the references that I have ignores the deflection along th beam with this type of loading. There is an old post 2006 by an ME but no good answer. One option seemed to be to take the load as...

I typically do amortization sheets. App 12 columns and 365 rows. When I copy and paste the second line to reiterate to the remaining lines Excel take a very long time to paste if indeed it doesn' crash. Any suggestion? I use Excel 2007, Is it the same in Excel 2010? I use to use Qpro pasted...

is there a piece of equipment that can locate the reinforcing steel in concrete. It really needs depth and size. We were asked to evaluate a retaining wall that was not inspected while being built

In Excel is ther a way to set up a list box as a menu selection to jump from sheet to sheet, i.e. I I set it as contol shift M then it would come up with a list box and the list box woul allow me to jump to the sheet of the name in the lookup box or to open another file.

I am looking for your feedback regarding the anchor bolt spacing on residential basement walls (North Carolina). I know that lateral load issue has been discussed but I see no reference to the anchor bolt spacing issue. The NC Building code (adapted from the IBC) in Section 1610 Soil Lateral...

We often review log homes and the manufacure often uses two log atop of each other for lintels etc. I usually reject this configuration and require a solid beam. Any thoughts on the subject?

In a framed roof with a knee wall how can one determine the load from the roof through the wall to the floor. If the point at which the knee wall touches the rafter Is taken as a support then basically half the roof load transfers but in reality only a part of the load is going to transfer...

I am reviewing a building built in 1930 that has some 24" high steel beams. When did the AISC start using the W deesignation? Is there a way to determine what beams match up with the existing profiles and what strength designation was in effect?

I am trying to determine the at rest active pressure when backfilled with clean crushed stone. I have used a frictin angle of 41 degrees but I need some imput as to this being proper. I know from experiece that this type of backfill produces less pressure on the wall than grandular sand-rock...

How do you handle the wind on an open structure such as a Gazebo or open porch attached to a residentail structure? ANSI/ASCE only addresses open structure with monoslope roof. Does anyone know of available reference material on the web??

Does anyone have any god sources for learning more about spring constants in STAAD 2006?

Is there a way to display the names of all the sheets in a sheet. I,ve got alot of sheets in a file and would like to see all the names displayed in one of the sheets.

Basement walls of 20’ in height Residential IBC 2006 North Carolina Paragraph 1610.1 “Basement walls and other wall in which horizontal movement is restricted at the top shall be designed for at rest pressure” Exception basement nor more than 8’ below grade with flexible floor Similar...

Does anyone have any insight into the practical height for a 12" CMU retaining wall. I normally stop at 12' high but I have seen several that are higher and I wonder how they get that without exceeding fm

We ofter use 3/4" crusher run for backfill but I can't find the angle of repose for this type of material. I assume that is greater than for gravel and therefor over 40 but does any =one have any authorative data on such?

This is a question about propogating a combo box in the vba editor of Qpro. In Excel you enter the list in "row source", but when I try this in Qpro it returns an error. Anyone have any ideas about Qpro?
