The size of steel beams chosen in residential and commercial construction projects is critical to the integrity of the structure they are being used to build. The most common type of steel beam used in construction is the I-beam, which is also known as a
So you should all have a sample slide like this that you can use to determine what the minimum font size is that's easily legible. What do you think of those? [AUDIENCE: Which size is right?] What's that? [AUDIENCE: Did you ask me what size is right?] Yeah, minimum, maybe. [A...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To present the design method of a beam-column connection section in a steel-pipe column presenting a simple and general-purpose method in which the proof stress of the beam-column connection section in the steel-pipe column is obtained, keeping the fixed accuracy of the...
Determine the size of a replacement ball bearing before heading to the store or placing an order to avoid wasting money and time. Typically, cylindrical-shaped ball bearings contain a set of balls that allow the outer casing to spin freely. Ball bearings come in many sizes for an array of ...
size can’t visualize fine details. In contrast, a self-driving car’s LIDAR system, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, uses a narrow invisible infrared laser. It can image features as small as the button on a pedestrian’s shirt across the street. But how do we determine the...
I was able to finish my FT8 activation with my pocket sized digital station. I did run into one problem however: iFTx allows to automatically determine one’s grid square – which of course is important for FT8. When I enabled that, it correctly put me into FT13 at first, but a few...
determine how to manage factors such as zoning regulations (access to parking or transit, height limitations, and so forth) before engaging a designer. Architects and designers can use the models to craft designs using high-quality data on decades-old buildings. And builders can use the models ...
In order to demolish a building safely, blasters must map out each element of the implosion ahead of time. The first step is to examinearchitectural blueprintsof the building, if they can be located, to determine how the building is put together. Next, the blaster crew tours the building (...
For a beam element model, use the Draw: Modify: Divide command to divide beams into shorter elements. Figure 1: A precision contour display gives a visual indication of the effects of the finite element mesh on accuracy. To determine when results have converged satisfactorily and accurately, you...
To determine how much load is transferred to the lower beam, match the beam deflections. The upper beam has the point load applied and the reactions are along the beam (pressure to the lower beam) and point loads at the ends. The lower beam is loaded along the span (sine wave ?) by...
