Where can I find standard details for the following roof-to-wall connections:
1. Steel bar joist bearing on CMU wall. Question: Should the embedded steel bearing plate in the masonry be flush with the top of CMU, or should the top of plate be slightly above the CMU so that the joist bearing...

Analyzing an existing 30 year old grandstand bleacher structure that seats 2000 people (20 rows of bleachers total). The tallest columns in the structure (17.5 ft long, angle 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1/4) show signs of buckling or deflection of the tops of the columns (about 1 1/2 in. from plumb line at...
I'm analyzing a continuous slab, with a typical panel 6'8" x 20'. The panel is supported on all four sides with steel beams and girders. I'm basically treating the slab as a one-way slab. I'm using a FEM program to determine Vu and Mu. Large point loads are located very near the steel...
I have a mass flow rate of air of 698,000 lb/hr NEMA standard. What would the mass flow rate of air be under ISO conditions? Where can I look up this conversion factor?
I have another structural steel question I hope you can help me with. Here is the current situation: We have a number of point loads on a structurally supported, one-way concrete slab. Our calculations indicate that the slab is overloaded due to the concentrated load pattern.
To correct...
Looking for opinions on the best way to analyze the following situation:
One-way concrete slab reinforced top & bottom both ways, 6 1/2" thick with 1" Kalman topping (7 1/2" thick total).
Slab supported by WF steel beams @ 6'-8" O.C. with top flange embedded in slab (no...
