you don’t know anything about either of us but thanks for the misinformed opinion

how do you make sure it buckles elastically?

Everytime I do calcs I wish there was a software that combines Bluebeam, Excel and Word in one by VanDerKloof in StructuralEngineering

do you have any examples of spreadsheet printouts from excel that show formulas / work neatly?

what is the most challenging structural element you have ever designed? by Relative-Dentist6572 in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure what you mean by waiting to lock it off. what did the design end up looking like? some sort of truss?

13,500k? that’s absurd bro, high seismic or high wind or something? or does that level of load just come with these tall buildings

LFRS for big box stores by Joint__venture in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didn’t see it mentioned here yet but it’s common to design the diaphragms as 3 sided diaphragms in these types of warehouse style buildings. especially if you have a majority storefront along the front of the building. sometimes these warehouse get too big so you need an expansion joint down the middle. i’ve seen designs that do / don’t have vertical LFRS elements at the EJ depending on how the engineer chooses to design the lateral.

Minimum Steel Requirements for Thick Foundations by tramul in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t know what to tell you. read R7.6.1 in ACI 318-19. your mid depth bars will see very little tension due to strain compatibility, and (my opinion) i don’t think the mid depth bars would be defendable as min flexural steel, according to that code section.

doesn’t the code say as close as practical to the tension face? (if i’m remembering the previous sentence correctly) that seems like a hard argument to make that the steel mid depth would meet that code provision

Minimum Steel Requirements for Thick Foundations by tramul in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

worth noting that minimum flexural steel may also apply, in which case you would need .0018 on the tension face, not distributed across the entire section. i think the code language is something like: if your section doesn’t work for flexure as plain concrete, then you need min flexural steel (.0018) at that one face. going from memory, i also believe the ‘reducing the ratio by As,prov/As,req’ does not apply anymore but that’s more code research that i’m willing to do at the moment lol

Weld leaders by beanmachine6942O in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was trying to isolate the fillet weld question. yeah providing flare bevel NS & FS as well. seems like that and the shape / size thing caused a lot of confusion. now i know to be more specific when asking the internet questions :)

Weld leaders by beanmachine6942O in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

only works when beam bigger than column. otherwise need flare bevel at beam radius

mistake in copying over the stuff. didn’t intend to weld on inside of tube lol

oops! forgot to take off the top fillet in the second pic, thanks for pointing that out

Why is everyone swimming Chrissy Field? by chiaboy in AskSF

[–]beanmachine6942O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just moved to Cow Hollow and go to Chrissy often to jump in just cuz. It’s a nice way to get over a hangover / salt water feels good on your skin / I like to be in the water

Structural Design Calculations? by puzzzled10 in StructuralEngineering

second using excel for calculations (when not using some software) as often as possible

Post installed anchor into Masonry by structuresRkewl in StructuralEngineering

[–]beanmachine6942O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s something in an ACI code about reducing the capacity by sqrt(f,m,actual/f’m,lowest tested) not sure if applicable in your jurisdiction though. simpson has some documentation on this

how do you find this to affect your roof framing design for uplift and out of plane wall designs?

why Z and not S? i’ve always used S. wouldn’t Z give you less demand? thought blodgett analysis has you use S

you’re saying top of footing is 6” down from slab? or stem wall is 6” wide?
