    Beta Testers Wanted! - CalcBook Structural Engineering Software

    I had a quick look. Wondering if there is a direct way to input the eccentric load on the welding calculations or just the moment? Also, the member check is mostly once you’ve done the moment and shear etc calculations? If there’s steps before the input, that might dissuade some people? I love...

    Cfs style shear tab style connection?

    Hi everyone- we are looking at a connection from a typical cfs built up header to a king stud style post. The connection is proposed to consist of screwed cfs plates to both sides of the header to the post similar to how a shear tab would act. Does anyone have any input or thoughts on how to...

    Load Distribution Member in CFS Walls- Load Transfer to Studs.

    I am working on a project where we are designing the CFS stud walls. Studs are placed at 16" crs with owsj at 4' crs. I am checking the system using a continuous beam for the LDM and using the reactions to distribute to below studs. When the joist is bearing almost directly on the studs- I am...

    Looking for Snow Load and Wind Load

    And yes- you need the 2012 edition. Snow loads increased by about 10% almost across the board, although I believe that was in the 2006 edition.

    Repelling/Fall arrets

    Good afternoon- We are reviewing an existing fire training structure that they want to teach repelling off of the side of the structure. Please see attached sketch. The literature I am seeing states a fall arrest needs a 5000# anchorage load with limited deflection. From what I read, I see this...

    Alternative to Mitek Wood Truss Software

    Trusserwin is decent but in beta stage. The guy that developed it is very helpful.
