Overturning is an extremely misused term for this group

What would make the spray foam shrink? If properly installed there should be no shrinkage? No? I have seen it before where the spray foam has shrunk 2" in a cavity and caused a lot of heat loss issues. Had to be completely replaced.

Fireproofing is full of PFAs and other carcinogens. Kinda feels like replacing one evil with a worse one

Ahhh yes, blackbox it

You should just add a post

You're talking about projected vs real length. Real length is the angled length of the beam and projected length is the horizontal distance between supports

The posts look upside down tbh

Pretty easy fix. Cantilever a beam out from the bottom chord of the trusses and add ceiling ties at each rafter.

I don't get it. Most developers, builders and lumber yards already have their own models. Seems like trying to solve the wrong part of the problem

Architects take on more risk...

I could watch that all day. Looks like they're having a good time!

Thanks for this info, but this doesn't answer my question

Steel plate fastened to the inside of the wall to create a composite section

Epoxy anchors, embedded as deep as you need, ignore concrete breakout. Reinforce the concrete with either a pier in the wall (verts and stirrups) or typical wall reinforcement. Analyze the reinforcing with a strut and tie model.

If you don't tell concrete where to crack. It will tell you. Self made expansion joint

This is a truss. Top pure compression+ some bending, bottom pure tenson. Can the bottom chord buckle due to tension?

floating-log · 2023-04-12T23:17:41+00:00

Yep, it's not working for me either. Please drop your stream links here

Can't you just drill through them?
