Hi Gwynn,
Yes, this is a fall arrest system. It is what you described - an overhead rail with workers being tied off with vertical lines. I have checked the fall clearances and the fall envelope checks out.
This question came about since I am trying to reuse foundations and anchor bolt...
Just for my knowledge, is this a generally accepted rule or is this written someplace? I recently read a section in ANSI Z359.6 about the determination of factored load effects but I did not fully understand the code.
Thanks for your help!
I am designing a fall protection system in an outdoor truck unloading area. The fall protection rail system is supported by an open structure with a roof.
I have applied dead load, wind loads per ASCE7-10 and the fall loads. What factored load combinations are used in this scenario? I have...
While working with a model, I did something to make the "Unity Check" tab (under Postprocessing) disappear. Does anyone know how to put the tab back or an alternative location for this informaion? Thank you!
I am trying to model a 3D truss in STAAD. The forces in the members do no match the hand calculations I was given. Does anyone have any ideas why they aren't matching up? (I tried to model the truss by specifying the diagonal bracing as truss members.)
