Hello! Does anyone know where i can find a good source for the lateral capacity of nails on the internet? thanks! Or any internet source where I can compute the capacity myself? Thanks!

Hello! How do you determine if the connection between a concrete beam and concrete column is partially released and by how much? In STAAD there is a partial moment release in beam specs where you input a certain value in MPX, MPY and MPZ. What effect would this have on connection details...

Im a newbie on etabs.. id like to design a 5storey hotel. the walls will be made from 10" CMU and 8" CMU on the top 3 floors.. The CMU are to carry all vertical loads including the lateral forces.. the slab of the entire bldg is hollowcore concrete planks. any suggestions on wat properties to...

how do i determine if a structure s rigid or flexible? i know as defined, natural frequency of 1Hz sets the boundary.. but, how do i compute for natural frequency? would height over length less than 4 be generally assumed as rigid? would buildings 10 storey or higher be assumed flexible? would...

Normally, we design thick plywood for shear walls to resist lateral forces. is it practical to use bracing instead? id also like to know more regarding its cost. help much appreciated!

Im making a program for wind calculation.. In Figure 6-6(con't), in getting the value of Roof Pressure Coefficient Cp, where do you get the value of Cp when Roof Angle is than 10 and h/L is between 0.5 and 1.0? Since the table shows only values of h/L <=0.5 and >=1.0 Help much appreciated!

We are currently designing a pier foundation for a certain building. We have a Pier End Beam Value of 4000 psf and a skin friction of 1000 psf. The soil report recommends a minimum depth of 8 feet for the piers. But there is water at around 8 feet deep. The soil report did not say it has...

greetings... I would like to ask for a suggestion in connecting 2nd floor end column of a 2nd floor wooden shearwall to steel beam(wide flange) below.I tried to look for appropriate simpson strap, but i did not see one. I'm thinking of using bolts to be welded to the beams to take care up...

Greetings... I would like to ask for an idea on the effects of go-bolts in the shearwall and how the tension in the bolts are computed considering a certain bolt spacing. Is this system allowed by the UBC? thank...

Greetings... Is Wooden light framed walls with gypsum or plywood sheathing,in non - seismic region allowed for four storey bldg? If not, what are the alternative design using wood structure. Thanks...
