Hi
I need help regarding Mathcad Prime variable definitions.
I've been using Mathcad 15 for a long time creating templates and stuff and I just recently thought of trying Mathcad Prime just for experience. In using Mathcad 15, when you define a variable which has been previously defined...
Hi,
Are the journals in ASCE library free for download for members? I am thinking of applying for membership in ASCE just to have access to their vast references/journals. AISC provides free access to their journals for members. Hoping that ASCE would be the same.
Thanks
Hi,
Does any of you have an idea how the values from Table 7.3N: Maximum bar spacing for crack control found in Eurocode 2 were derived?
As shown on the table, the assumption for concrete cover is 25mm but I would like to create a new table for 50mm.
The parameters used and the assumptions...
Good day!
I am currently designing an equipment foundation on piles. I'm wondering if do I have to include the inertial force of the large mass concrete in addition to the earthquake force due to the equipment and consider these effects on the piles OR I just have to consider the earthquake...
In designing pipe racks, is it required to transfer the thermal effects (thermal loads on steel due to change in temperature) on its foundations? Please cite any references if you have.
I've been trying to look on to several references like PIP but I can't find any which discusses specifically...
Hi,
I'm designing a concrete sleeper which will support a 78" dia pipe and several smaller pipes (2" to 6" dia). The sleeper looks like a wall footing with length equal to 21' and height of 8'-8". Its (wall-like) pedestal is 18" thick.
The 78" dia pipe has high anchor loads (lateral loads...
Hello!
I'm just confused regarding the appropriate approach on how to obtain the fundamental period of a structure using computer software. I am aware that there are approximate methods / formulas provided on many design codes (i.e.,IBC and ASCE) but I want to be clear to myself that I am...
Hi!
In ASCE Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities, the anchor bolt maximum tension is calculated by the formula below:
Tension = 4*M / (N*BC) - W / N
Where:
M = maximum moment on vessel
N = number of anchor bolts
BC = bolt circle diameter
W = minimum weight of vessel...
Hi
I am designing a truck loading ramp having side walls as retaining walls with footing. The space between will be covered by fill (to save concrete) and the top 200mm will be composed of slabs to be designed as slab-on-grade.
Im designing these retaining walls using MathCAD and Im applying...
Does anybody know where I could find a reference calculation for a 4-bolt extended end plate moment connection? Is it really feasible to have such connection since the AISC only provide examples for 6-bolt and 8-bolt extended end plate moment connections? Thanks in advance.
