Hi all, currently working on a building assessment which uses Hilti C10 anchors at certain critical connections. I'm not familiar with these anchors, and couldn't find anything online. The drawings date back to 1990, so I'm assuming they're discontinued anchors. If anyone has an old Hilti...

Actually, one thing I should clarify is that the original design drawings indicated 38mm wood decking. I'm curious if this 38mm is the REAL thickness, and not the nominal thickness. For comparison, most 2" wood decks are actually 1 7/16", correct? Perhaps they specified 38mm as the real...

Does anyone have a load-span table for 38mm (1 1/2") wood roof plank decking, random length continuous with SPF wood? I can't seem to find anything for 38mm, all the tables I've found start at 51mm (2"). I have a building with plank decking spanning 6 ft between steel beams. 1 1/2" seems a...

Jed, thanks very much for the information! Just a quick question on it, though, since you're probably more familiar with the product than I. On page 14, for the 5-7.5 profile deck system, it doesn't show span/load tables for 14 Ga or heavier. The existing building I'm looking at has the 14 Ga...

Hi Jed, Hoping you catch this post. I've been searching high and low for any information on old Robertson 7.5" deep steel deck products (circa 1950s-1960s) and the only things I have found so far are a few of your posts on various engineering forums indicating that you have some old...

Thanks all for the info. I'll check in with one of our US offices and hopefully they can PDF me a copy of that section.

Hi, There's equations out there for bending capacity of plates in weak axis (either elastic or plastic modulus), however I've never come across a bending capacity for a plate in strong axis. Also, this would be for a laterally unsupported plate, so I'm positive there are lateral-torsional...

Does anyone have any credible testing/verification data or documentation regarding the use of diamond dowel (plate) systems for shear transfer in slab-on-grade construction joints? Typically, we would use smooth dowels for shear transfer, however, on a particular job the diamond dowel system...

Is there a general guideline for analysis of dynamic wind loads on wind turbines (specifically for wind-power generation)? (1) Would the frontal wind area of the rotor decrease or increase as the result of the blades rotating? More simply, even, would the frontal wind area under...
