I've been using hotmail, yahoo, and other free mails. The box-sizes range from few upto 10 mb. The behavior is all the same: can receive upto the stated box-sizes but 1-mb limit per single attachment is there on sending. Since the current mailbox I'm using is 10mb, I usually WinRar the files...

Agree with above that the limits are for easily damaged attachments since under service load due to the displacement compatibility of slabs and steel beams and the low stiffness of slab, the deflection induced tensile stress in slab should be very low, and in the case of composite construction...

For single-plate shear connection, Appendix C of Manual of Steel Construction: Volume II (Connections) is worth reading. It shows that in the situation asked, even the connection is of simple shear type some moment must be considered in the design of welds and bolts. The amount of moment to be...

Apart from the widely used IDARC: http://civil.eng.buffalo.edu/idarc2d50/ you'd better take a look at here: http://www.forum8.co.jp/english/uc-win/wcomd-e.htm http://www.forum8.co.jp/english/uc-win/com3f-e.htm

Thank you very much for all inputs. Ingenuity. Could you mail me the Strand7 example? I had few experiences with Strand7 in the past and would like to take a look how it looks like. tomtumx@yahoo.com

As an estimate during design: If it's a new building, you have to assume a construction sequence and assign different creep functions (eg. CEB-FIP MC90) to each floor. With the cross-section of the wall, steel contents, and each floor load, the floor level variation can be calculated. If the...

Sorry, the question is not clear. I'd like to know if there is any softwares that allows creating new model wizards (capable of including loading and, perhaps, code check will be greate) to simplify the inputs. Otherwise, I have to write some scripts to generate the data myself. Best regards,

Our company has to evaluate more than 2000 spans of rail bridges within 300 days. The huge number and various forms of bridges make me feel the need for parametric modeling to get sth. like the model wizards in some FE softs. I have never taken a look at this feature. As far as I can...

If talking about just continuous beam design. You'd better take a look at the standalone RCbeam module of Robot. Simple with LL pattern shuffled and you can even get a basic drawing. You can dwld to have a look at http://robot-structures.com/us/

Should also take a look here: AISC Steel Design Guide 3: Serviceability Design Considerations for Low-Rise Buildings. and Eurocode 3: chapter 4. Mine is ENV 1993-1-1, which is quite old. Would appreciate if someone can point me where/how to get a newer.

I found the materials here very helpful: AISC's Design Guide 7: Industrial Buildings: Roofs to Column Anchorage / Fisher (1993)

At last we're here. At this very moment, I don't have any problem dwld. at its main site: www.prokon.com.

austim: It's up already.

Oh, no. The Mirror's links are all dead. Let's wait and see if it'll be back.

Yes, www.prokon.com is dead. But I found a dwld.mirror (official?) here: http://www.anno.com/prokon/

Take a look here, and see by yourself the differences comparing with those cited above: http://www.engsys.com.au/mstower.htm

Check Xsteel 6.0 at http://www.tekla.fi/index_building.html

azh Be careful. You wrote that you used Factored load to compute defl. The load factor must be 1 in this case. But the inertia must also be the effective I, not the gross one you said you used.

Try dwld Prokon. Only the basic modules are fine. After getting into the cross-section module, click examples. The output of this module is quite nice.

Nick35 I didn't say that it's not good for American. I've been testing 14.1 millen. since Dec. The modules you quote are there but many others are still not available for US codes.
