    Kazakhstan Structural Design Codes

    I am doing some research about Kazakhstan Structural Design Codes. Does anyone have experience with Kazakhstan structural design codes? I know there have been quite a bit of changes over the past few years. I am looking for a list of design codes, mainly for structural steel!

    Wind Load on Conical Roof

    Anyone have some good documentation pertaining to calculating wind loads for Conical Roofs? Preferably following NBCC, but any would do. Thanks!

    One-Way Slab (Suspended Slab) With Metal Deck Design under Wheel/Vehicle Loads

    On the new ramp, the span is no more than 1.5m, the slab is not too bad for flexural, it is mainly the one-way shear that governs. I've seen a couple different sources specifying the effective width as: 1. E=(4/3)*X + d 2. E=bm + (1-X/L)*X (where bm = width of wheel + 2*concrete slab depth, X =...

    One-Way Slab (Suspended Slab) With Metal Deck Design under Wheel/Vehicle Loads

    It is just an outdoor ramp and deck area for a steel factory. Basically structural steel framing with a concrete slab on top (with a metal deck as formwork). The vehicles go up the ramp and are usually parked at the deck area, the client has a list of vehicles that the structure/ramp may...

    One-Way Slab (Suspended Slab) With Metal Deck Design under Wheel/Vehicle Loads

    I am dealing with two cases, one existing structure and another "new" ramp/structure. For the existing ramp, they want to use heavier vehicles than originally designed for + there is a lot of deterioration and damages. I have followed USD (United Steel Deck) provisions in determining the...

    One-Way Slab (Suspended Slab) With Metal Deck Design under Wheel/Vehicle Loads

    I rather use the effective width method but I do not have the reference you mentioned.

    One-Way Slab (Suspended Slab) With Metal Deck Design under Wheel/Vehicle Loads

    Are there any references I can follow to learn/design a slab under wheel loads? In my case, I have a concrete slab with a metal deck supported by structural steel beams. This floor will see vehicle loads and I want to design the slab for moment & shear under a concentrated point load. Any tips...

    STAAD Pro - Rigid Diaphragm

    Well I have an expansion joint on the same floor (shared nodes in one row) so I cannot properly do the master slave command since there is common nodes. I haven't used the Floor Diaphragm command, not sure how to specify it.

    Wind Load on Open Structure per OBC/NBCC

    Does OBC/NBCC clearly define how to apply wind on open structures? I normally follow ASCE 7 provisions (specifically Wind Load for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities" book) when following the US code. But not quite sure on the Canadian code. Do I have to convert the wind speed from...

    STAAD Pro - Rigid Diaphragm

    I have a structure composed of steel members (one story high) and on top a concrete slab (metal deck). There are expansion joins at various locations. How do I go about modeling this on STAAD? I just want to model the steel, but I need to have it as a rigid diaphragm. I had no luck with using...

    Where can I find weld properties for Stainless Steel (304L)

    Very simple question, for some... I am welding to a stainless steel pipe (304L), and I am looking to find the weld properties for 308L. Any idea where to look for this information? I need the ultimate strength of the material or the proper electrode to be used.
