I know this question has probably already been asked but are there any books or websites that provide practical real life structural problems (steel, concrete, etc.) other than the PE and SE prep books? My job does not provide me with a lot of opportunity for design work but I would like to...

I understand how to calculate fb for the major axis (X and Y) but how do go about finding your actual bending stress about the z axis,i.e. the fbz as mention in section 5.3.1. Also, the property tables only provide S for the x and y axis. Where can I find any info on how to calculate this?

I don't know exactly what the application of the slab is for but I have seen concrete bags (or mats) used to protect slopes. Only two companies I know of make them. It seems many people are unaware of them. This may not be of any help but it may be useful in future projects.

I have been able to determine my stress per bolt on the bolts for a HML but I am using A36 rods (not A325 or A449). On page 6-83 in LRFD second edition it references Table J3.2 which does not include A36 bolts. My Fy=55 ksi and Fu=81.5 ksi as provided by the manufacturer. Can I still use these...

Does AISC Design Guide #1 address circular base plates? I have the same situation as dbags. I have design of welded structures by Blodgett but still wondering on how to deal with a circular pattern. How can I obtain this design guide and how much will it cost?

I have a 60 ft HML light we are installing and have been asked to check size, depth, and number of bolts required. I have all the forces, moments, and stresses provided. The base plate is circular. I have already checked many threads but do not have excess to many of the references...
