CMU infills are for architectural reasons, walls been infilled are not part of the lateral resisting system (only out of plane lodas)
Openings are 8.5'Hx7'W and 7'Hx28'W
Given the uncertainties in the exisitng cmu surrounding the openings, would it make sense to demo top and bottom of openings...
Does anyone one have any information in regards to geometric and mechanical properties of 3/8" ribbed metal lath used with poured concrete as a slab in the 1950s?
what does it mean "owsj"?, what is a V-rib form like?
Later renovations indicate a 2" conc slab and corrugated deck instead of a a 2" concrete on WWF lath and fireprofing as existing slab
connectgr, I am trying to design what is shown on your sketch, i.e., the connection (not the braces). If you can share the design calcs for that, it would be nice; if not could you direct me to the pages in the AISC Manual where examples of connections like the one you uploaded are?. Thanks.
dear connectegr, i coul not see a design sample in the link you sent. also, i need the connection between the braces not the end connection. please clarify.
Does anyone have a design example of a cross bracing connection with gusset plates?. The members are square HSSs and I am looking for a design example (or a reference) for the connection between the two cross bracings with a gusset plate.
I am looking for information on a slab made up of 3" stone conc fill over deck type nkx-16-16. Has anyone see load tables, geometry, etc, for that type of slab?
