    stainless steel 'T' Section design

    Sorry BA, typo mistake i have made. I meant elastic section modulus and effective section modulus, both of which are being mentioned in AS 4673. I understand the concept of section modulus and young's modulus, thanks

    Rounded corner wind load

    Hi hokie, the project has been just started. I don't think the building will be taken through a wind tunnel test unless AS specified so. Also I don't have a access to CFD software either, so just hoping there is a way I can get a good estimation out of the AS1170.2.

    Rounded corner wind load

    Hi guys, I am tying to work out the wind load for a 100 meter tall building by using AS1170.2. The building has no shape edges(corner radius very large compare to the building's width and length), Just wondering should I apply Kl=3 to the side wall negative wind load in this case? If yes, is...
