Hello,

I signed a contract for the manufacture of pressure vessels. During the project, a question arose as to whether the stored medium should be classified as hazardous or non-hazardous. Who is ultimately responsible for clearly determining the classification of the medium: the client, the designer, or the contractor?

Hello Everyone,

I am currently developing a design for a temporary connection to a CMU wall lintel, as illustrated in the sketch below. The concept consists of an angle on each side of a steel wide-flange beam, with through-bolts extending through the CMU lintel and secured with washers and nuts on the opposite face.

In reviewing TMS 402-602 (2022), I have onl...

Good day. l have a header supplied from a cooling tower and we have a pressure gauge on the header as shown in the diagram. What is the significance of this gauge, as its pressure will be affected by throttling the end user valves. When l throttle one end use valve, the pressure rises on the gauge due to back pressure. So if say the required pressure at the header is 2 bar, that...

We're attempting update or bridge design manual, and we're finding a wide range of applied loading to account for the screed machine, frame, attachments, personnel, etc. to be applied as a point load to check the lateral flange stresses in steel girders during construction. I'm having trouble making sense of how there can be such a broad range of assumed loads, when the equipmen...

Good evening.

I was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to provide out-of-plane wind load support for the highlighted wall.

Thank you in advance for your help!
