Hey everyone,
does anyone know of a good company, school, or professional society that has classes on roadway rehab, widening, or streetscape design? As a young engineer, I'd like to expand my expertise and I'm afraid there's a bit of a disconnect with what's feasible for a contractor to build...
Thank you Jed, that sounds about right. And ya, with k=1.2, i get about 80. I was considering even using k=2 since it's almost like a fixed/free-end from where the load is being applied. The AISC spec. section E on compression shows Fe for elastic buckling, and Fcr for critical stress. As long...
They will be lifted with a crane from lifting bars that will be welded on the top. And I don't know why we're not going through rodney hunt or hydrogate, this is just the assignment my boss gave me (I work for the state).
Since the bracing will be welded on the L beam, it will be handling the...
The gap from HSS and L beam was more of an exaggeration. I could use a 6"x"6" L beam if it could handle the load. And that's where I'm at in the design, determining which L beam can handle that load if welded like in the rough drawing.
And the reason there's another member in the design is...
My goal is to develop 12 7ft stoplogs that can be stacked (3 per bay for a max height of 21ft) and will be fabricated to stop the water from flowing into the levee pipes. The bay is 9.5ft, with stoplog channel, I have steel stop logs with a width of 122in.
I have already determined the force...
