@delagnia, thank you very much for quick reply.
Please find the attached calculation i performed following the reference.
At your convenience, can you please comment on my calcs, that will be of very great help.
Thanks a lot again...
Thanks for all your comments.
@delagina, thanks for the reference, i went through the reference and it seems like if provided edge distance is > 6do then side-face blowout can be prevented. In my case, the edge distance is exactly equal to 6in (6X1" dia), is it safe to assume side face blowout...
Hi all,
I have a question regarding anchor bolt design for pier foundation.
Structure has 4 square piers sitting on 11' square mat foundation. I am checking the existing anchor bolts of 1'-6" typical square pier foundation for tensile load of 70 kips and shear force of 4 kips in both...
Hello all,
I am trying to design base plate for single leg angle connected by fillet weld all around. Can anyone help/guide me with designing the base plate for single leg angle.
I tried to follow AISC DG 1, but it seems like that is specific for W-beams.
Any help will be greatly...
Thank you very much again Josh.
I am applying area wind load to my tower model. I used open structure option and defined leg members as columns, X Diagonals as VBraces, Horizontal struts as HBraces. Is that the right way of defining the section types? Because, as you said, when i use area load...
JoshPlum,
Thanks for the information and suggestions. I upgraded my version to 9.1 and this helped resolve my previous questions.
Also, I have a question about modeling column and base plate interaction. Here is the scenario:
I have a beam supported on two columns and these columns are...
Thanks for the reply JoshPlum. Actually i was using AISC 360-05 code, but i am working with RISA 3D Version 9.0.1. This version might be the reason.
Also, regarding the calculation of compressive axial stress. how does RISA handle KL/r ratios? I went through the calculations for typical member...
I am modeling a tower using hot rolled single angle members, the members are drawn from center to center without considering any offsets. Modeled leg members as beam type and X braces as either HBrace or VBrace type members. Given design list as single angle for all the members. Also, considered...
