• Analysis of Domed Roof on a Railway Station

    ADINA is used worldwide for complex analyses. The Southwest Jiaotong University conducted an analysis under contract to study the structural integrity of the roof of a large railway station at Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, in China. The roof considered is…
  • Shear wall in staad pro connect update 6

    Hi, My model of 15 storey building with shear wall, wherein post analysis shear wall tend to fail for rupture ( i.e axial stress very high ) , but the same with same configuration with other known software it passed for same structure that RCDC Supports…
  • Parameters are not considered while performing tensile rupture strength as per AISC 360-10

    I was going through the staad output. In that while using WT sections, I came to know that axial tension rupture capacity is not multiplied with LRFD or ASD factors. Why is it so? For W sections its showing correct but for WT its not. abc.std
  • Potential Error for Tensile Rupture on a WT section in RAM Connection

    I was running a design for a WT vertical brace and found what I believe to be a mistake in the calculation of the shear lag factor, U, for tensile rupture. I have (7) rows of bolts connecting the WT flange to the gusset. From AISC Table D3.1 I would expect…
  • RE: Modulus of Rupture in Concept

    Not directly. According to the manual, section 54.6.17; Modulus of rupture (f cr ) is 7.5 root (f ′c) times the lightweight concrete factor. The maximum f’c for the cross section is used. Lightweight concrete factor is assumed to be wc / 145 pcf…
