Hi all, we're looking at designing a wheel bump-stop for a hefty mining truck. Originally there was a concrete stop connected to a reinforced slab (see image), but the stop was damaged and reo pulled out on the bump stop. We encouraged a concrete fix, but they want to replace it with a pre-fab...
The client basically wants this frame to be stiff as it supports grating and need this area to be accessed. We suggested a mechanical solution with springs to reduce the impact but they just want a 'structural' solution with more mass thrown at it so basically a big overdesign. How about this...
Hi All,
I know there's a lot of threads on impact loads but honestly I'm still confused as there's so many different answers. I have a bolted frame with 360UBs and 230 PFCs, and essentially there are multiple 300kg counterweights in a row which each have a rod running through. Designing for if...
Bachelor of civil engineering qualified with only 3 years experience and very new to brownfields industrial design.
So MJCronin, maybe it's different in Australia, but site welding and detailing practices are not covered in civil engineering course work since it's not a structural design...
Hi there,
Engineer here with no experience with real-world welding so if someone let me know if this will work that would be awesome. Essentially we have a column sitffener that will be fllet welded in place, and then a big thick bearing plate will need to contact the column, and also a large...
Hopefully this is a bit clearer? There is no horizontal member that resists the bending of the web, I think this 150PFC is just a small floor trimmer quite close to a column support - see photo attached (note EA toes drawn wrong orientation). I haven't done a 2-bolt moment connection like this...
Hi,
I have a base plate with an 75x6 Equal Angle EA bolted to a 150 PFC flange. See sketch for calculations and overall geometry. I checked the moment in the direction where bolts are eccentric and there's a tens-comp resolved by bolts(Case 2) but wondering how do I check the moment for Case 1...
Hi All,
New here, just looking at a problem (located in Australia) for installing a panel board to existing steelwork. Need some ideas for the connection of the board which looks to have a Unistrut with a 11 mm diam bolt hole, to two 75x6 EA legs. The legs will bolt to the exisiting steel work...
