    SMath Advanced and Enterprise Users

    What am I missing out as someone sticking out with the 0.99.7822 version. I think I can update it to the latest version for my personal use but I opt not to since there may come a time I can't open it with the 0.99 version. There's a workaround it but better safe than sorry. Going back, what...

    Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, what's it good for?

    Nothing much to this really, I've just come across a subscription for Autodesk and I'm thinking it may not be bad to learn about RSA. To those who had used it and currently using it, would you mind telling what it's good for and what it can't do?

    Thesis Ideas References?

    Good day everyone! I'm doing a write up for what would be my ideas for thesis, and can you refer me to which journal/s I can look into for better ideas and maybe reference them later on. My field of interests have been liquid-retaining concrete structures, steel connections, and concrete...

    Steel Perpendicular Connection

    Thanks everyone! On another look, seems like a specialized design for specific project that I might inquire here locally.

    Steel Perpendicular Connection

    Does anybody know what this type of connections are called? Any references on how to design them? I have a pretty much same structure to design, so I was thinking maybe I could do this scheme too. Any one who has an idea?

    Secant Pile

    Good day! May I ask for any reference material regarding secant pile design and the process? For reference, the project requires the use of secant pile as earth retention during excavation. This is my first time working with secant pile, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Natural Frequency for Gust Effect

    Good day! I basically have the same question as OP's comment in this tread, https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=402433. Well to quote it, "To calculate the natural period of this frame I used the formula T = 2*Pi*SQRT.(m/k) where m is the weight (assumed to be lumped at the top of...

    Silo Foundation

    Good day! Do you have a reference for a ballpark figure of support reactions from a 4-legged silo. I know I have to check for overturning due to wind when empty, aside from that I think I have to consider seismic effects too. Any reference in designing a foundation for a silo would actually...

    Eurocode Resource

    Any resource trove or book to further practice my appplication of Eurocode?

    Eurocode and Equal Angles

    Good day! Let me preface this that it's my first time using EC. EC3-1-1 Section 6.2.8 states that where shear force is present allowance should be made for its effect on moment resistance. Where shear force is less than half of plastic shear resistance the effect may be neglected, otherwise...

    STAAD Triangular Plate Stresses

    Thanks a lot guys. I guess it was just a confusion in my part upon seeing something unfamiliar but I understand it now. I'd take a look again over the ratio which is indeed doubtful.

    STAAD Triangular Plate Stresses

    @JoshPlumSE and @WARose While I do understand that such triangular plate does have an infinetesimally small piece of quad where the local stresses do apply. I'm actually trying to convert such local stresses to force. Out-of-plane shear stresses (SQX and SQY) and moments (Mx and My) conforms to...

    STAAD Triangular Plate Stresses

    Hello! Can someone help me clarify about triangular plate stresses in STAAD. i know that this guide exist (see below) but how would I interpret this in a triangular elements? something like this: Thanks a lot btw.

    Detailing for Overlapping Areas

    So I had this retaining wall section that is all good and detailed. Problem is along its run is a sudden bend, like a 30deg bend if you know what I mean. As such, there would be an area where the reinforcement would be much denser due to overlapping. Is there any provision for this? Or just some...

    Modelling manhole in STAAD.Pro

    Good day! I'd like to ask whether to model the circular manhole in STAAD.Pro with or without the holes. We do think the walls in between holes would be the most critical area, however actually modelling a circular manhole with circular cutout is tedious work. Putting loads such as hydrostatic...

    References for Circular Foundations

    Do you have any references for circular foundations? I especially want to know about the stress induced by the carried loads and how to compute it.

    Circular Precast Concrete Manhole

    Good day! In the American Concrete Pipe Association - Design Data 20, they introduce a lateral earth pressure analysis for the riser. How do I deal with the earth and hydrostatic pressure on the eccentric section (the eccentric frustum)? I'm looking into making it into its vertical and...
