Utilizing the RF-STEEL AISC add-on module, steel member design is possible according to the AISC 360-16 standard. The following article will compare the results between calculating lateral torsional buckling according to Chapter F and Eigenvalue Analysis.
The National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2015 Article 4.1.8.7 provides a clear procedure for earthquake methods of analysis. The more advanced method, the Dynamic Analysis Procedure in Article 4.1.8.12, should be used for all structure types except those that meet the criteria set forth in 4.1.8.7. The more simplistic method, the Equivalent Static Force Procedure (ESFP) in Article 4.1.8.11, can be used for all other structures.
Using the RF-TIMBER CSA module, timber column design is possible according to the CSA O86-19 standard. Accurately calculating timber member compressive resistance and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the factored compressive resistance in the RFEM add-on module RF-TIMBER CSA, using step-by-step analytical equations as per the CSA O86-19 standard including the column modification factors, factored compressive resistance, and final design ratio.
Using the RF-TIMBER CSA module, timber beam design is possible according to the CSA O86-14 standard. Accurately calculating timber member bending resistance and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the factored bending moment resistance in the RFEM add-on module RF-TIMBER CSA using step-by-step analytical equations as per the CSA O86-14 standard including the bending modification factors, factored bending moment resistance, and final design ratio.
说到 ASCE 7 中建筑结构上的风荷载,可以找到大量的资源来补充设计规范和帮助工程师处理这种侧向荷载。 However, engineers may find it more difficult to find similar resources for wind loading on non-building type structures. This article will examine the steps to calculate and apply wind loads as per ASCE 7-16 on a circular reinforced concrete tank with a dome roof.
