The slenderness for the lateral torsional buckling calculation can be calculated from the formula: Lambda = 2.8 x [(length x depth / thickness ^ 2}] ^ 0.5 Knowing lambda and the material design stress, pb can be read off the relevant table in the code. In your case the depth is 5.5 and the...

I assume that your building will have a normal concrete floor slab. Why not bolt the column baseplate directly to this floor slab using standard concrete anchors? Then there is no problem with misplaced holding down bolts or possible corrosion of the embedded steelwork. Mesh reinforcement may...

The British Standard BS 2853:1957 covers the design of steel overhead runway beams. It uses an allowable stress design approach. Although more than forty years old, the code is still applicable in the UK. The method limits the transverse bending stress in the bottom flange due to load from the...

I hope I am not too late to contribute. Do your interests extend to the UK? In 1984, the BCSA published a book entitled “Historical Structural Steelwork Handbook”. This contains some information on the derivation of wind loads. I summarise as follows: - (A) A formula was published by Smeaton in...
