    16' duct design

    It would be nice if I could find something online so I could read it for nothing and have it right away. Im looking to find the stresses and how to determine the allowables...... I could run it in SAP2000 but Im really interested in finding the typical checks that one would do

Rarely do I use math that I...

    Im new to useing moving loads in SAp2000 (v14). I have gotten things pretty much as I want them and now what particular output. I have a multi span with say 4 widely spaced wheel loads. I analyse my model and I get the correct maximum reactions at each support. What I want is at a...
