I work mainly in the structural steel world so the steel analysis of the attached sketches is not a problem, when it comes to the interaction with the wood is where I get a bit confused.
I believe my main concern with this connection would be the bolts ripping/tearing out of the wood, (as long...
I've always wondered why when I see a new building under construction (usually a prefabricated type building) the columns are wider at the top than at the base.
Just curious.
Thanks.
What is the difference between these two galvanizing specs, the only thing I've found so far is that 153 is used for smaller pieces of material such as fasteners etc.., but what is the actuall difference in the specs??
Hello all,
Above is a link to a picture(hope I did it correctly) that shows a bulkhead with erosion happening behind it from waves/water going over the bulkead and washing the existing soil towards the fence in the picture and then going left and eventually out from behind the bulkhead.
I am...
Guys/Gals,
I have an existing 20ft. long C8x11.5 and I will be beefing it up with an additional C8x11.5 which will be bolted to the back of the existing, I want to leave a ¾” gap in between the two channels, to do this I will be using ¾” spacer plates, but my question is, along this twenty foot...
EIT here so if I'm missing a simple step here please forgive me.
I have a C8x11.5 (36ksi) beam modeled in STAAD. My results show that the allowable weak axis bending stress in the member will be Fb=0.6*Fy=0.6*36=21.6ksi which is the allowable stress for a noncompact section (F2-2 in ASD), from...
I'm looking through ACI-318 trying to find out where (if anywhere) it calls out for a minimum required thickness of grout on top of a pedestal, in this case I have an octagon footing supporting a piece of equipment. I'm used to seeing 1" to 1 1/2" grout thickness on regular footings but can't...
I know this post belongs in the soil mechanics forum, to which it has already been posted, I just wanted to stick it in here as well since it seems as though this forum is quite a bit more active than that one. So here's what I have.

I've done the calcs for a retaining wall (T-shaped cantilever) I will be putting into a firewall (constructed of a clay based material).

In Excel I have a regular spreadsheet and on each page (in the background) in the middle it has "PAGE 1", "PAGE 2"...and so on. This doesn't print out on the hard copy it's just annoying me being back there, how do I get rid of this?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I have an existing sturcture which I have modeled in STAAD that contains a double channel beam (C7x9.8 w/.75" spacing, 15 feet long supported at each end, 36ksi steel). I ran the analysis and the STAAD output is saying that this beam will be overstressed due to the comobined loading...
