We are in Railroad industy. They expect the post to be forever, like 50 years. In this kind application, we normally use cast iron with black painting. Due to the availaibility of the tooling, someone started to use 6061-T6 aluminum pipe for this application last year. I got some costing options...
To Stanweld: someone comes out of this "bury" idea which is different from our normal practice. What kind of coating should I use?
To EdStainless: the load is not heavy. Aluminum pipe is used because our company uses it a lot.
In a design, we need to bury 3' of 8' long aluminum (6061-T6) pipe underground. Do I need to worry about the corrosion? If yes, is there anything we can do to protect the corrosion? Thanks in advance.
Military Standard MS25036 lists only dimension requirements on terminal. It also mentions "Acquisition specification MIL-T-7928", which has criteria on performance, like tensile strength.
What does "Acquisition Specification" mean?
If a vendor claims that its terminals meet MS25036, does this...

In a welded truss system with angle beam element, beam local forces are required for next step analysis. These values are from s7 to s12 in output file "study/analysis/study.s##". The results for shear force and torsion are about 50 to 500 times of expect values. This problem does not exist in...
