Is this the only parameter? Hours of study?

Is hours of study, a necessary, and more importantly, the only parameter through which we will answer the important question of the reflection of engine ...

Friends,

Finally the time has come to bite the bullet and I have to do PLATE modelling for the first time in STAAD.

And as expected I have run into problems.

The thing is I have created tw ...

Firstly, why can't the tie beams be connected to top flange? Please explore options to tie the top flange.

If top flange is not constrained then theoretically lateral torsional buckling will occur ...

The subject has been dealt with in a good manner in Design of concrete structures part -II by H.J Shah.

Maybe you can refer that.

Here is the link to that book (for buying). In table of conten ...

Additional knowledge will always help in the long term, no doubt about it. If one has no other commitment then it is always beneficial to go in for higher education.

1. Even though there is a standard of 6m as average spacing of pipe rack, what will happen if we adopt spacing of 9m c/c for larger dia pipes(> 14") instead of 6m c/c. My view is if we adopt s ...

By pipe rack spacing I am assuming you mean spacing of transverse frames.

Though there are a lot of considerations. The most basic consideration is the dia of pipes.

Small dia pipes will requi ...

Hi,

Interesting discussion indeed.

But I am just wondering how will applying notional loads have a effect on the rotational stiffness of a joint on which the column effective lengths are depen ...
