The project is a remodel of a existing home. A wall is being demoed and to replace it a single column and beam are being placed. The attached image is the proposed design for the system. I imagine something like this is possible if the proper straps are connected to the beams and the column is...
Thank you both for the inputs, I really appreciate it since it is difficult for me to find a lot of information online.
I will definitely adjust the deflection consideration but as for the cumulative shear in the stories I do consider that somewhere else in my calculations. I attached an...
Here are some hand calcs I did for a simple design of the frame. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=2b542bb8-87d9-492f-a4c4-2e7b9a3ef501&file=20210407_130512.jpg
I have been working on designing multiple steel moment frame and I am not sure if I have been sizing them properly. I have multiple 2 story steel frames that will have full penetration welds on each beam to column connection. The foundation of the frames have a grade beam underneath to help...
The beam that will be connected to the top of this column will have ceiling joists and roof rafters connected to it. Does that mean that the column will be considered a pin pin connection?
In my calculations I have considered it a cantilevered column braced by the floor system. Is this not more...
Spoke to some people and seems like we are using a single 18' HSS column. Here is a floor framing plan. The column I am talking about is the one directly above the column that FB-17 is connected to. As you can see the floor framing on one side is perpendicular to it while the other side it is...
In this instance a double column is necessary because it is not a new building construction but rather addition to existing building. Having end plates on the end of each column and bolting them together would be acceptable? I imagined some sort of welding would have been necessary but if end...
The first image that comes up on google when typing 'HSS column splicing detail' https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4968ba0a-7e46-418e-ac34-4d2b75db5d4b&file=Figure-3-Side-Plate-Splice-Options-e1589818624546.png
@BAretired - So this is not a moment frame. The beam at the top are sitting on the HSS columns. I would imagine it is easier to have 2 HSS columns to construct than it is to erect one tall one. I just do not know how the detail for connecting the 2 separate columns would be. Are the columns just...
I have a steel beam in the roof framing of my 2-story building. I am using a HSS post to carry it on both ends. One of the HSS posts spans 18' down to the foundation. I was wondering if there was a better way to engineer this than to have a single post span the 18' feet. Is there a detail where...
Yes tiered is exactly the term I should have used. Thank you this is helping me with my search so much. I really appreciate all the help and advice from everybody.
Yes tapered is not the right word to use, sorry. Thank you for the responses but I am still not sure how I would treat both walls as one system. Would it be both walls as one continuous wall? Or would it be as drawn and the footing connecting the two walls is there to just transfer the load to...
Sorry if it is unclear. Here is a rough image of what is happening.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d060066e-8348-4910-9b7c-9745078351eb&file=Image.pdf
Hi I am working on the analysis for a house cut into a plot of land. The walls against the dirt are retaining walls with the bottom of second story wall being 8 feet away from the top of the first story wall that is 8 feet in height. The top of the first story wall and footing of the second...
