JD. Thanks for the clarification. All makes sense and will implement as mentioned.
The only one that seems a little vague to me is the transmission of overstrength loads down to foundation for all members associated with beam 1. Section 12.3.3.3 mentions 'design of the connections of such...
Thanks for the response. And yes....it is 0.5L (typo). Sorry about the confusion.
I'm working under the 2013 CBC and ASCE 7-10.
I've already calc'd out the basic design of the beam 1. Now I having to check it as an element supporting a discontinuous wall Section 12.3.3.3 thus having to...
I'm calculating discontinuous loads on an 18' wood beam for a story story single family dwelling. The loading includes roof and ceiling loads, exterior wall over the beam and second floor joist loads parallel to the beam. And the beam also is carrying two points loads from the ridge above (D +...
Thanks for the response. And yes....a moment connection is what I meant. I was hoping to use a simple welded knee brace (plate) at each column to beam connection (top of tube steel frame) and pin connect the base. Obviously if drift becomes an issue, then fix the base.
Other than referring...
Hi all.
I'm new to this site and hoping someone can get a straight answer.
I'm designing a simple patio cover with tube steel columns and beams. Lid is corrugated metal so fairly light weight.
I'd like to use gusset plates at the beam to column connection thus making it rigid connection...
