How much can you bend a straight piece of rebar and still consider it to take the full load in tension? (or Compression)
I have a concrete embed which has tails on it to drag the load into the concrete. There are times in the field in which the tails need to be bent to fit in place.
I've...
What electrode do I use?
The new PCI Manual (7th Ed) actually states "Use E80 electrode for ASTM A706 rebar"....to A36 material.
The old PCI Manual (6th Ed) provided length of weld for E70 electrodes.
What happened? I have a very old AWS D1.4-92 which does have a Table 5.1 stateing "Matching...
This sentence actually states for Nonstructural Component Anchorage(13.4), for Anchors in Concrete or Masonry anchors embedded in concrete (13.4.2) shall be proportioned to carry the least of the following:
13.4.2.a: 1.3 times the force in the component and its supports due to the prescribed...
Hi
I'm designing stadia / risers for a stadium. So the flexural shape is a "Z" section with a flange in tension.(See enclosure)
For the design of the "Z" section the limiting factor for my overhanging flange is 1/2 the clear distance, so I proceed to design my section. In my design I don't...
Hey you guys;
I am loading a structural column eccentrically for connections for the cladding of a building. This will cause rotation and bending in the column flange. I'm familiar with the web stiffener provisions, but am trying to determine at what point I need to add a flange stiffener to...
If I am welding a rebar with a 10 degree bend in it, onto a plate, how far away from the bend do I need to be, to start my weld? Does anyone know where I can find something in writing about this?
This diagram calls this dimension out to be 2 1/2" but I'm not sure where this dimension comes...
Hey you guys;
It would appear that the seismic loading for freestanding walls on spread footings is aquired under "non Structural components" in the 2006 IBC. For this situation, how does z/h work?
Thanks,
Stu
