This is a cross section along the rack however this bay is unique.
The spacing is 5.70 m and I am talking about this bay only.
Shifting bracing will be difficult to execute.
My question was preliminary as a concept, I shall create a model for the structure and re-evaluate the members before...
I attach a drawing with highlighted the required bracing to be removedhttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=020b74ba-de2e-46fc-9b87-ab856b2e1164&file=D012E6DD-B4CC-479B-8476-5BFC8FE5C8A4.jpeg
There is an existing steel pipe rack which there are 3 levels of vertical bracing.
The lower level of one direction vertical bracing in one span have to be removed temporarily for one week to allow a crane to enter to do a job there, is it safe to do so? No wind speed there and it is hard to...
The tank will be placed on shims and then grout will be poured. A previous scenario on another tank, its bottom was corroded due to the improper way of filling voids with grout, this is why we need to eliminate this issue from happening again.
Also if I used a pump or a hose, how can I ensure...
There is a steel shimmed circular tank of diameter 6.0 m which needs grout to be poured beneath its base plate.
What is the proper way to apply grout under this area rather than just pouring using a circular formwork to ensure that the grout really sealed all the voids beneath the tank base...
After investigation it was found that the failure of the connection was due to bad application of weld since construction, re-welding the clip angle is nearly impossible without complete shutdown.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ee9cd18c-e9c5-4869-a309-edbd18d85755&file=Capture2.PNG
And here is the failed horizontal bracing connection, failure is in the welds of both clip angles attached to the webs.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=787a8ede-299b-43fc-8a0f-c5c8b8ae6935&file=IMG_20191003_130336.jpg
There is a steel pipe rack with normal framing system including horizontal and vertical bracing systems, all the connections of the horizontal bracing are defected, for some reasons it is nearly impossible to re-weld the connections without a shutdown for the operation. What are the alternatives...
I need help in reinforcement details around large openings in RC slabs, I am aware that ACI 318 states that the removed reinforcement by the opening is to be put on each side of the opening. The problem here that I have large openings (1m x 2m) due to mechanical requirements inside a slab of...
Yes I know it is rare, but it is just a quick check I need to know. So it is just an integration for the triangle between pressure and time?
I searched for this book online I could not find any available online version for it.
Dear all,
I have a blast peak incident overpressure value Po= 5 kPa, and peak reflected pressure Pr= 12.5 kPa and the duration of impact to= 100 msec. How do I convert these loads into equivalent static loads according to ASCE Manual 42? I have an equation but it is somehow pretty hard to solve...
