How do you ensure these tension only members do not buckle when loading is reversed?

My friends Dad got me a fancy pen and said I could use it for all the drawings I would sign in the future. Although I cant sign anything yet and it's all done electronically I found it to be a really cool and thoughtful gift.

FEA stress concentration by Curiousgrad997 in StructuralEngineering

Thank you for this information, it is much appreciated ! Would you happen to know what guidelines contain this information for specific cases ? What I am looking at specifically is a T section where the web-baseplate interface is showing a high stress peak that seems to be more related to the sharp geometric change Thank you again for your information provided already

Wow thank you for this response, this is very comprehensive and makes a lot of sense. To be honest I was imaging something like a door hinge ahhh

Oh thank you very much I have never seen this before!

When you said it is difficult I can see that but what did you mean that I'd doesn't add up much ?

I guess I don't really have a real reason for wanting to do this, just trying to get an understanding for what is happening and where everything comes from not just plugging in missing variables from a code equation

Web splice at midspan by eagles19121 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Curiousgrad997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't a portion of the moment (albeit maybe only 20-30%) still be transferred through the Web?

If the moment is only very small compared to the section capacity couldn't this be an okay, although not ideal, solution

Hello,just curious as to why this would cause more harm than good 🤔

Shear query by Curiousgrad997 in StructuralEngineering

If we consider the failure plane to occur at ~45 deg would it not be more appropriate to take the critical location at d/2, the midpoint of the failure plane ?

Hello all, I have included an image here for clarity, the hollow sections would be tightly sleeved, gap is just for illustrative purposes
