My aaplication is as a trench cover around a swimming pool, so long term loads should not be an issue.
I cannot find any load tables on the web for PVC grating, do you know of any?
I need to calculate the allowable load on 1-inch deep PCV bar grating. I have the material properties of the grating, but are unsure on how to determine the allowable bending and shear stresses. My gut tells me that following the same approach as if it was steel is wrong. Has anyone come...
I am calculating the wind loading on a flexible structure and need to calculate the gust effect factor per section 6.5.8.2 and have hit a road block. I have determined n for the three cases needed to calculate Rh, Rb and RL. Equation 6-13a is for n > 0, and Equation 6-13b is for n = 0. In all...
