Its a real world situation for cars driving over at 40mph - but more likely around 60mph! So it would be a quick load and unload situation, and the question is how much force would the holding down bolts see?

Does anyone know how to calculate the recoil force from a plate that deflects under a point load? i.e. if I have a plate that spans a gap and a point load is applied to the centre. When that force is removed and the plate wants to return to its equilibrium position how much will it continue...

Does anyone know a way that loadings due to vehicles can be reduced based on speed restrictions in the Eurocodes? In the old BD documents you could massively reduce the forces that have to be designed for if there are speed restrictions / signage in place but I can't find anything in EN 1991-2...

Do you mean it's dependant on the stress in the member when the weld was applied? Or the type of stress that will be applied in service? The member is subject to a fully reversible load so each flange will see both compression and tension. The weld was applied when the frame was unloaded...

I am looking at fatigue in a UB member that had a plate welded across the flange, but was subsequently taken away. In accordance with EN 1993-1-9 this would be treated as Detail Category 50 for calculating the fatigue damage with the plate in place. However, as the plate has been removed and...

My understanding is that for a member subject to cycles of load but is always in compression does not have to be considered for fatigue failure. With this in mind my question is thus, for a member subject to an alternating load that causes a beam to bend one way then the other, should the...

Has anyone used the Scia Engineer Analysis and design 3D package? If so how would say it compares to other software available in the market (such as STAAD, CSC's software, etc)?
