Thanks transmissiontowers! It has been my interpretation as well this was a local deflection.
I am using the squared value in the deflection checks.
Do you know when you anticipate having the newest version of 113 out? How frequently do committee positions become available?
I was wondering how anyone familiar with substation steel design has been handling deflection due to rotation per ASCE 113. Specifically, I frequently have columns with rotation, causing deflection in horizontal members.
For instance, if I have a Class B structure, the vertical member...
Thanks for clearing that up transmissiontowers, that was exactly what I was wondering. I agree it would be much more clear if the table said "Wind deflection velocity conversion factor." I will be sure to let you know if I have any more questions! Thanks again.
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me in understanding Section 3.1.11.3 of ASCE 113 concerning deflection calculations. This section suggests using the un-factored extreme wind and un-factored extreme icing loads if the equipment is operating during extreme wind or extreme ice. Is the...
