Hi Everyone really appreciate the responses, I should have been more clear though, the column is only experiencing lateral force Case 1 Portal Frame, Column is pin on the ground, fixed connection to beam, lateral force, moment is max at the top where the connection to the beam is, do i use Mb...

Hi Everyone, This question may seem stupid but i hope someone is willing to help Pin end cantilever column with a fixed connection on top (portal frame column, results in moment at the top. Is the moment capacity at the top connection Ms and therefore i dont need to consider the effective...

In 1170.0 table c1 under roof support elements it specifies a element as "roof elements that support brittle claddings". I cant find in the standard what they consider as brittle. Seems like a broad term. Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know any books or resources to gain knowledge for the most cost effective warehouse roof type designs depending on the span and spacing. Any advice on what the most cost effective lean steel design for roof, 28m span, 1.6 head room for truss or rafter (accounting for...

Hi Dhengar, thanks for giving me a typical builder response, would you pretend to be an engineer and tell me how what calculation checks must be done thanks mate

Hi eng tips family Im dealing with a 45 degree pitched roof. How do i design the wall to resist the thrust. The wall is a standard stud wall 90x45 @450cc Please let me know if there are any australian standard code sections i can refer to Thank you all

any free software that yo know of @steveh49

alright ill go into more detail hopefully this will make more sense theres the uploaded image. The highlighted area is where i want the imaginary support to be. What im aiming for is the cantilever portion loads at the bottom gets pulled in the vertical run, then the horizontal run pulls it...

imaginary supports as locations in a slab strip direction picked up by the other direction?

Hi All, Just a question about a one way nominal width slab run In the run i have imaginary supports which are picked up in the run going perpendicular My question is how much load (self weight, live load and deadload) should be considered before the run is stiff enough to be considered to...

Hi Eng-tips family does anyone know where to find balustrade deflection limits on the australian standard kind regards,

Hi Eng-tips family, Can someone please explain to me the difference between a waler and a bearer. Kind Regards, An aspiring structural engineering

Thank you Retrograde!

Thank you everyone for their answers

In that case, considering everyone has agreed that putting a certain number of straight elements to form a curve is a satisfactory way to model out the curved member my follow up questions are - what type of restraint would the nodes between the straight members be (how would i make sure strand...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know where i can get information on saw cuts according to the australian standard Kind Regards,

Hi everyone, are there any structural engineers that recommend books that would strengthen my designing ability (strengthen in terms of leaner designs) for timber or steel structures/frames. Books that are in accordance to australian standards are preferable. Also if theres any articles...

Thank you everyone for your answers. IDS your answer in my other thread was helpful thank you very much. The answers that i am generally seeing is that you should model out a series of straight beams. In that case my question would be how many before id expect an accurate answer. Answer i am...

Thank you IDS! and everyone else for their answers

Hi Eng-tips community, Does anyone know how to model a curved beam on strand7 Thanks.
