I have just paid my $240 to PTC for one year of licensing and upgrades for a year, and have wasted 3 hours of my time to get Mathcad 14 on my new machine. I need licensing codes, and believe me PTC are not making it easy, although I am totally legitimate. I dont know if PTC realizes that their...
Is anyone aware of a routine that will do bracing gusset plate design for connection design (plate thickness, bolts, welds, etc). Ideally it would be Mathcad (that I can modify if I want). Alternatively, it could be a procedure that could be put into Mathcad. Not so ideal, it could be part of...
I am looking into stresses and deflections of relatively thin (span/thickness approx 300) rectangular plates (clamped against rotation and somewhat rigid in the plane of the plate along the perimeter of the plate). I read that when the deflection is in the order of the plate thickness (or...
I am using the ACI318-02 which has a new phi for columns of 0.65 (was 0.70). The old curves could be used by simply ratioing them, except in the bending area transition where the phi value goes to 0.90 (unchanged). I was never thrilled with interpolating these curves.
I have found on the...
