Thanks Sye, I have two more doubt on this subject
1. Even though torsional stiffness of the supporting beam is less, why I am not getting any difference in the strength utility ratio. please clarify ?
2. Is there any other design justification other than that T post is welded to the supporting beam. , for modelling the T post in separate STAAD model.
@Sye :- could you please help on the above soon
You may check the critical condition for design and also the critical load case and that may tell you why the ratios are same. Modeling the T post in a separate model with fixed base is not as accurate as modeling the T post as part of the combined model.
