    Pipeline Fire near Houston, TX

    How? The fence closest to walmart is untouched. The damaged fence section is the south west corner.

    Groove Weld

    I would still use a tab welded to the beam web/flange. This would be easier to assemble in the field, and it would give some adjustment to locate the brace at both ends. If you were wanting the groove weld to be a CJP, the weld will require overhead welding. Using a tab would likely not need...

    Bolt clearance

    Probably 5/8" bolt with the standard edge distance. 3/4" bolt standard edge distance is 1". You can go less, but you need to check it more closely. The 3/4" bolt head or washer might be getting into the fillet of the W8x10. I remember seeing where overlapping the fillet a small amount is ok...

    3/4" metal roof deck

    You might look at MBCI's PBU. PBD is probably closer to the look the client wants, but it is only 5/8".

    Super Yacht sank in the med

    The Apollo missions flew on 5psi-absolute pure oxygen. Apollo 1 ground test was done with 5psi-guage pure oxygen (5psi above atmosphere). All future ground tests was done with 5psi-gaage air.

    Splice Connection

    The "Research Council On Structural Connections" has additional requirements on when to use pretensioned vs snug-tight.

    Roof Live Load [IBC vs. ASCE7]

    ASCE only considers live loads on the roof that are not occupancy related to be a roof live load. This is clearer in 7-16, but it is in 7-10 & 7-05. And ASCE's minimum live loads on a roof that are not occupancy related are 20psf or less. If you have a live load on the roof greater than 20psf...

    ETABS API using Excel VBA

    Might help to know where the code fails and what the vba error message says. I don't know the ETABS api, but a few things I noticed: -myHelper dim type is different to the set object. It could be fine, but its not how Microsoft does their api. -mySapModel similar as myHelper. -If you have...

    ASCE 7-16 Ch 28: Part 1 vs Part 2

    For chapter 28 part 1, the wind pressures are perpendicular to the surface. The only case where it is not is the minimum wind pressure. Then it is 16psf to the wall and 8psf to the vertical projection of the roof.

    Slip Critical Connection

    1) From the commentary figure this would be a single filler. But, as sketched, you wouldn't need the fillers. Fillers should only be needed on one of the segments. 2) I'm sure the slot would need to be in the splice plate to need the higher Ω. You could still use the 2.14 to be conservative.

    Metal panels at wood framed garage floor

    Probably water tightening from the garage to the wood. Someone could wash a car in the garage, and want to protect the wood from spray. Could also have been a carport sometime in the past, and used the metal panel as soffit material.

    Minimum bolt edge distance

    The discussion for table 10-10, which uses the conventional connection, gives a reason for the 2*bolt diameter: "Edge distance, leh, is provided as 2 times the diameter of the bolt, to match tested connections." If you wanted to use less than 2 bolt diameters, you will need to use the extended...

    ASCE 7 wind pressure on overhangs

    ASCE 7-22 30.7 clarifies this a bit. Cladding only needs their adjacent GCp value (top surface to roof, bottom surface to wall). Components that support both surfaces would need the combined GCp. I would use a similar approach to the internal pressure as the parapets. The internal pressure...

    ASCE 7-16 Chap 28

    You didn't get the right edge coefficients. 2E is -1.07 for both case A & B 3E is -0.69 for case A and -0.53 for case B The roof is like a wing. You'll see uplift while the wind flows over it. The zone 2 & 2E stops getting uplift at about 28 degrees. Multiply the net by sin(20) if you...

    RFI: References design of thin sheet cladding diaphragms - (EG; PEMB, Industrial portal frames)

    The Steel Deck Institute has "Diaphragm Design Manual". You can get the third edition for free from them under archived publications. The Metal Construction Association has "A Primer on Diaphragm Design".

    Industrial Warehouse

    Mills probably can do 60'. I was going off our supplier's list of shapes. Most of the shapes listed have 60' available, but not all.

    Industrial Warehouse

    For a 55' tall, I would start at W18. I designed a rock climbing gym a couple years ago and used W21 for 60' columns. You are getting to the limit of most steel mills for length. You can check with the fabricator what they can do for a range of sizes, or you may consider adding column splices.

    Wind Pressure - Wall Inside of and Open Building

    The building would most likely have been design for the doors to be closed at design wind speeds. Designing this partition wall to the same wind speed would overly conservative. If you want to go above the code minimum of 5psf, I would pick a wind speed that the doors can stay open for. You...

    Connections between curtain or insulated metal panels and girts

    I was thinking that the curtain wall angle could screw or blind bolt. After looking at sections from Kawneer, your manufacture will likely want to through bolt. Now your tube looks farther away than these, so you'll need to use a filler piece. That could be a short section of tube or other...

    Connections between curtain or insulated metal panels and girts

    The metal panel connection is probably fine. I would have moved the tube to the panel and used a much thinner bent plate. But the tube could be being used for something else and can't be moved. I do want to know how that sag rod will get attached to the tube though. The curtain wall unless...
