KootK, thanks so much!

Does anyone have a copy of the latest HSS Design Manual, Volume 3, from the Steel Tube Institute? https://steeltubeinstitute.org/hss/membership-manual/manuals/ I am looking for some additional resources for designing moment connections of WF beams to HSS columns and I was thinking this might...

Thanks so much for all the input. My configuration is essentially what SlideRuleEra and KootK show in their figures and sketches. My thinking was similar to what you both suggested, so I appreciate the confirmation.

I am designing the connections for a simply-supported steel roof truss. The EOR specified the geometry, member sizes, and member axial forces. It is a Pratt truss with a configuration similar to this: ._______ /|\|\|/|/|\ The chords are WT sections and the webs are double angles that are...

There is a debate going on inside my office about the scope of the structural engineer of record's review for precast concrete shop drawings for structural components that are part of the primary structural system and are delegated to a component engineer (e.g., precast hollow-core plank...

I am the engineer of record for a residential apartment building that will utilize a precast double-tee slab and inverted-tee girder system for the transfer slab over a 1st floor parking garage (I know this is unusual, but the precast engineer has convinced the developer it's worth his while)...

JAE - Thanks for the additional input. I certainly agree with what you say about Hooke's law. I didn't know it if was accepted practice to compare my situation of the two-way slab to the accepted practice for the design of the footing of a steel column modeled with a pinned base...for in that...

JAE, thank you for the input. To follow up, I understand that both alternate-bay live loading and the forces induced by lateral (wind & seismic) loads must be considered in the design of continuous systems. In this case, they are considered in the design of the two-way slab. Clearly, and for...

I have designed a number of two-way slabs using the Direct Design Method, but I am now designing for the first time a two-way slab using a Finite Elements programs (RAM Concept). The building has a parking garage in basement, the two-way slab at the first floor, then 3 stories of light wood...
