As others have mentioned, this detail is quite famous, one of drawback i found is the top row of nails will hit the steel for face mount hangers. With a shallower steel beam than the joist, will require the infill timber plate completely out of steel with no bearing from bottom flange of steel...
Thank you for the reply, yes they can have tapered segments and you are right will be simpler with direct stiffness method. I have done similar to what Doug mentioned except for using UDFs, i solved slope equations and fixed end moments for varying EI etc. in python symbolically and then...
Thank you Doug for sharing that link, that's a treasure of knowledge and functions at no cost :)
I was trying to numerically double integrate moment diagram however couldn't figure out how to evaluate cantilever deflections and converge the deflections to zeros at the supports. I like the...
I am building a spreadsheet for a continuous beam upto 4 spans and cantilevers (each span having three segments of different EI). I have done reactions via slope deflection method and then built shear diagram. For moment diagram I have used just numerical integration of shear diagram. I now want...
