Victor,
From your description I would agree that 100 kips is the SWL.
However, I would strongly suggest not putting that on the lifteye. The reason is that 100 kips is the SWL for a specified angle with minimum out of plane bending. Unless you go through the effort of analyzing the...
I think anything is possible. But will the owner want to spend the money. You might have to dig out the foundation to accommodate the new layout. And then the structural engineer may have to design new connections. I would say it's a lot of work to move these columns. There are a lot of...
JStephen, that website will be helpful. I talked to the client and I guess the project fell through so I do not have to worry about it at this point. But it is good to have this for any future projects of this type.

I was asked to design a flare stack structurally. The flare is going to be supported at two locations, at the base and about 1/2 of the way out. The flare stack is angled about 40 degrees at the end.
Now here is something that scares me. (I have designed low flow flare stacks before.) The...
I have worked with SACS a couple of years. But mostly on smaller projects. 200 ft of water.
Did you try putting a shim at the connections.
I would group over ride the weight of the pipes, make them .001. And although the pipes can support a compression load. I would make them tension only...
Hi,
I just am trying to calculate a the shear resistance of an uncracked section using 1992-1-1:2004 Equation 6.4 and I am just confused with the wording for the first area of moment. It says:
"S is the first moment of area above and about the centroidal axis."
A couple of questions if the...
It´s a different code but EC2, or rather EN 1168:2005 recommends that
splitting stress = (P/(b_w*e))*(15*alpha^(2/3)+0,07)/(1+(l_pt1/e)^1,5*(1,3*alpha+0,1))
where alpha = (e-k)/h
P = initial prestress force
b_w = thickness of web
e= eccentricty
l_pt1=lower design value of...
