    convert points between UCS and WCS with AutoLISP

    Though CAL can do this, but how can I complete in an AutoLISP file? Thank you

    Where I can find frostline in Ontrio

    To kelowna, I like to separate the deck from house so it'll not need permit. I try to find the frostline because I'm afraid the foundation above frostline and may have big displacement.

    Where I can find frostline in Ontrio

    Thank you. I live in Mississauga. I feel the frostline may be less than 1.2m. It's a small deck (3mX3m) in backyard, I wish the foundation is simple as possible.

    Where I can find frostline in Ontrio

    Ontario building code give 4', but I want to have a detail data for GTA. I want to build a small deck and don't want to make so deep a foundation.

    CISC handbook omiga 2 in figure 2-15

    To calculor1? Yes. But I can't find L2 in fig 2-15 case 1 match this note. Same as L2 in case4. To dik , We can use omiga2=1 conservative in design, but it's no the reason in this case.

    CISC handbook omiga 2 in figure 2-15

    case 1 for L1, it shall be 1.75 per CAN S16-01 for k=0. Why omiga 2 is 1.0? Anyon could give me an answer? Thank you.

    CAN/CSA-S16-01 14.3.4

    To kelowna (Structural) S16 is steel design code. I had no idea for S06

    CAN/CSA-S16-01 14.3.4

    Af is flange area in this code, does it include compression and tension flange? I can't find more commentary for it and the similar formula?Af is compression flange area in AISC 89. So I want to make sure I didn't misunderstand. Thank you.

    structural steel connection design

    I don't think that using eccentricity=45+flang width/2 is a good practice - if the girder is big, let say 3m and the neam is small (W21 or W24). How to calculation the eccentricity of beam to column connetion?

    P-delta effect for steel structure

    To enginering? I see. Just want to know a common situation. For example, one would like to control KL/r around 90-150 for column. p-delta effect was some thing we can control by change the rigidity of structure, as I understand. Similar as KL/r, I think it may have a allowance value.

    P-delta effect for steel structure

    What percentage the p-delta contribute to stress ratio for column of steel structure you found? I got 1% for braced frame and 5% for moment resistent frame.

    Bracing

    Slenderness ratio of legs. If >200, add bracing is a simple solution.

    structural steel connection design

    It depends on the the stiffeness of girder and the connetion plate. Girder support was torsion resistance. If you consider girder length=0, it's the situation of Korea's calculation.
