    1-Way shear check for post load on slab-on-grade

    Yeah that makes sense! Awesome. Thanks.

    1-Way shear check for post load on slab-on-grade

    Yeah, that was my impulse to check it as a pad footing and that there would be some kind of critical section for which to take moments and shear about but wasn't sure what that would be relative to the face of my post or post base.

    1-Way shear check for post load on slab-on-grade

    Hi, I'm a bit confused on how to determine the shear force at the critical section for 1-way/beam action shear for a post load in a slab on-grade. I understand he concept of the critical section but if the slab-on-grade is theoretically infinite relative to the extents of the post, wouldn't...

    CSA S16-14: Clause 13.3.3.1 Single Angle Members in Compression Conditions

    For Clause 13.3.3.1, the code states that to calculate the compressive resistance of angles as follows that 3 conditions must be met. One of those conditions is "members are loaded at the ends in compression through the same one leg". Does that mean that I can only have that angle that's in...

    Whitmore section / gusset plate analysis for single bolt connection

    While I understand that using a single bolt connection is controversial, the loads involved in this case are pretty small and thus I think using a single bolt might be fine. I've got a gusset plate that connects to a single angle brace by a 3/8" bolt. I would like to know how to evaluate the...

    Formwork Design Loads

    Got a formwork job for a slab. Should the design loads used be the loads given on the structural set? Or should they be construction design loads. With respect to live, the given live load is 100 psf. Construction live load could be taken as 50 psf. Which to use? For dead load, should I use...

    Bearing Analysis in SAP 2000 from detail drawing

    Hello, I have a drawing of an expansion bearing (something similar: here) and a fixed bearing. I would like to model these as springs in SAP. How would I go about measuring the stiffness in each relevant direction from those drawings. Is it possible?

    Lateral capacity of wood column

    Alright - thanks, @curveb!

    Lateral capacity of wood column

    Say I have a wood column (load bearing primary compression member) in my extremely old house, assumed fixed end connections. I want to load the column laterally to tie something down (treat as point load directly in the center). How can I figure out what the capacity of this wood column is and...
