Composite action and shear transfer can be accomplished without semi-automatic welded shear studs. Lenghts of C-Channel can be used and easily fillet welded downhand in the field. Field welding individual shear studs is tedious and expensive.
Dont discount the Hilti direct fastened / powder...
Isn't that mid-middle panel hanging there off of the column strips? It would seem that removing the entire center panel would reduce the overall loads imposed by both the dead and live loads on the remaining column strips. Isn't it's function to aggregate surface loads to the column strips in...
OP-
Where are you located? Repairs products are surprisingly region based on disctibution and contractor preferences. I'd suggest you find the local rep and show him your pics. They will likely give you their details and prodcut specs to folllow.

Client asked me a while back about putting a new opening in an existing 2-way flat plate structure. I said 'stay within the mid-midlle and were going to be in good shape'. And they took that, literally and sold the alterations to the Owner.

I am using 2005 values too. I get it to work no problem too. I did find a couple of flipped CD factors in my worksheet, but I am still trying to reconcile it...
i know this is a few weeks old at this point.... how big a nut/bolt? how many? what kind of load are you talking about?
food for thought:
there is an interference thread fit category. its not used much, but its there. you need to HEAT the nut to expand it to the proper thread diameter so that...
Greetings all-
I have been using the WWPA spreadsheet design tools for a few years. I did a cursory check a long time ago and I trusted the results.
Now I am dealing with a smart alec truss manufacturer causing trouble who claims my 2x6 wall studs are under-designed. So before I open my mouth...
