rowingengineer, Cl 5.6.2 is a fire requirement. Consider a vertical load bearing element with no FRL requirement.
asixth, I agree! But AS3600 is unclear.
If you were reviewing a design with this element designed as a wall, what would be your argument when push came to shove?
Thanks for the...
My post relates to the analysis of a vertical load bearing element under AS3600 (and beyond).
To my knowledge, AS3600 2009 does not define (for strength purposes) when a thin, long column 'becomes' a wall. This leave some ambiguity when analysing a vertical load bearing element of this shape...
Hi everyone,
I'm working with a colleague of mine and trying to rationalise the design for a CHS to CHS connection. His description is included below. Please view the drawing attached.
The design of connections in hollow sections is tricky. This is an example.
We have a small CHS welded under...

Do this by running your analysis...
