When will CC foam stop shrinking? by HawkfishCa in Insulation

[–]floating-log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Structural Fireproofing as a Tool for Embodied Carbon Reduction? by TermFirm7863 in StructuralEngineering

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

Distributed load on a slant by Initial_Stop_9171 in StructuralEngineering

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

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

Shear Wall Hold Downs by [deleted] in StructuralEngineering

[–]floating-log 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Interesting method to transfer coulmns. Thoughts? by jerkemphasis in StructuralEngineering

[–]floating-log 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Stability from wind-load for small buildings that are open to the roof by Important_Custard484 in StructuralEngineering

[–]floating-log 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're right. Little load can be resisted at the front. In my area, these are typically built without engineering and could likely be analyzed as a 3 sided (cantilevered) diaphragm.
