EngEquilibrium,
I am sure you will receive very good answers to your questions at this site, but be sure you contact your local/regional Hot Dip Galvanizing Suppliers and Powder Coating Suppliers and ask them the same questions.
Please post any responses that illuminate any problems with...
Just an offhand recommendation.
Take AWS D 1.1 Figure 10.6 Ed 2020 over to the copy machine and create a pdf and then post the detail in your question.
This would really speed up the answering process. Give us a little help with your question.

NikaJ,
What is your definition of a French drain? Mine is a post hole sunk vertically to below the frost line, approximately 48" to 60" for the Southern half of Wisconsin and then filled with clean rock/large gravel. Maybe including a sock filter to prevent fines from invading the hole...
There are also "bangies", which, at the easiest, are an angle with a tab as the continuation of one of the flanges. The tab is inserted in a pre-punched slot in the purlin web, high and/or low, and banged down with a hammer to form a hook, which serves as a low-cost rotation restraint.

I don't know this is the exact table you are looking for, but a table for that information is contained in the following volume: CRSI, Design Handbook, Working Stress Design, Revised 1963 ACI Code, page 14-11. Most of the caveats raised previously are included in the notes accompanying...
In a standard pre-engineered metal building the purlins do not load the flybraces. The flybraces load the purlins and are loaded by the roof/rafter beams, which they brace. The span of the purlins is not reduced by the connection of flybraces. Every purlin is not provided with flybraces...
JStructsteel,
What you have shown is almost certainly a load bearing detail and need additional information, i.e. what is the foundation detail below the column and what is the loading situation above what appear to be truss Joists carrying the floor above the beam. A Three ply beam is a very...
BridgeSmith,
Crane beams are rarely continuous over the support columns or brackets as that would involve both load multipliers and increases in the stress reversal load for fatigue analysis. Crane beams are normally simple, except in special cases.

mfstructural,
The checking shown in the photographs looks like standard drying checks. Have you stretched a string from one end to the other and verified that the sagging per each section is unacceptable??? What are your limits??? What are you estimated design loads??? As others have...
JKJohn,
I agree with Eric C., looks like pith, i.e. the center of the tree. If a crack does not propagate thru the thickness of the member, across the member. It is usually not significant.

KootK,
I agree, it is hair splitting but I think it is significant hair splitting. There is almost no relationship between the second number in the Joist Designation and the weight per foot of the joist, except that as the weight per foot goes up so does the second number.
It is too easy to...
tmgczb,
What code are designing under, as that will determine how they want the torque calculated?
You are getting good advice, please do NOT dismiss it out of hand.
