The National Building Code of Canada 2005 states different minimum live loads for specified applications, however "industrial powerhouse" is not a listed application. The closest stated application is "Factories," which states 6.0kPa (125psf). This being said, we generally use 200psf for...

I'm going to read up on the material and I'll let you know what I find. This isn't a research project, this is a 11ton monorail frame set in an industrial plant.

"...the punching shear stress along the critical perimeter nonuniform." I agree 100%. This being the case, would it make sense to use the highest pressure of my pressure distribution for the entire affected area, then simply test two way shear?

Punching shear would normally be my main concern, but the stress distribution resulting from the moment would cause a much greater shear force on one side than the other, hence my concern with one-way shear. (I am assuming d = 100mm as I am being conservative and don't have the drawings of the...

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. The attached drawing will help get your mind around my situation. I'm designing the base of a fix-free column (moment connection via base-plate on the existing slab). Because I have a large moment acting on the base-plate, I am concerned with failure...

Ishvaaag, Thank you very much for your help. Carl

I am designing a footbridge in an industrial environment. The span of the bridge is 9650mm, the width 900mm. The diagonal bracing connected to the compression flange of the main beams definitely provides lateral bracing, but do the intermediate transverse beams also provide lateral support...
