    Moving a “free” steel building??

    ^^^ As a structural engineer for 39 years this explains very well. I will qualify that above in my opinion applies mostly to pre-engineered metal buildings. Now if you are talking an existing stick built building utilizing hot rolled members such as wide flanges, channels, tubes etc. yeah we...

    Truss Design inquiry

    Looks like the top piece is used to transfer perpendicular wind forces on the wall that gather at the top plate to the roof diaphragm. Wind on the wall gets transferred to the truss bottom chord and immediately transferred to the top piece which in turn transfers the force to the top chord/roof...

    Can someone confirm these #'s for a beam?

    -I would add that it looks like you have 2000# on the beam, 1k =1000# , 1.00k/ft x 2' = 2k = 2000#. Not sure if that was your intent. -New wide flange steel WXxXX material would typically now be ASTM A992 with an FY=50ksi -Assuming you are talking about some trolley riding on top of the bottom...

    2 post lift concrete pour question

    Relief cuts within the footprint will most likely go against the assumptions the BendPak folks made when figuring the required slab/foundation design. Personally I would sketch up a plan view of the lift/slab 8'x16' layout indicating the concrete control joint location(s) and on the sketch...
