Beam to Girder Single Plate Connection Example Using ASDIP STEEL

By: Javier Encinas, PE | June 25, 2019ASDIP STEEL is a structural engineering software for the design of structural steel members. It includes the design of shear connections based on the AISC 360 provisions. This document is a step-by-step design example of a single-plate beam-to-girder connection.As an example, consider the partial framing plan shown below, which is part of the second floor of a retail building. All member sizes have been specified as 16" deep due to clearance limitations, which will force to cope the beams at top and bottom. Design the single plate connection of the beams to the [...]

Composite Beam Design Example Using ASDIP STEEL

By: Javier Encinas, PE | Aug 22, 2018 ASDIP STEEL is a structural engineering software for the design of structural steel members. It includes the design of composite beams based on the AISC provisions. This document is a step-by-step design example of a composite beam using ASDIP STEEL. As an example, consider the beam shown below, which is part of a storage building. The first level is a parking space, therefore the second floor will have a series of transfer beams to support the columns of the storage levels above, which typically are in a 10'x10' grid. Design the transfer [...]

Steel / Composite Beams: Optimizing the Design with ASDIP STEEL

By: Javier Encinas, PE | March 27, 2017 Beams are structural elements that support loads applied transversely, which produce a combination of shear and bending stresses. The structural design of steel beams includes the check of multiple limit states for both shear and bending. For composite beams, it’s important to consider the loads that will be applied before and after the composite action takes place. In the pre-composite stage, the flexural behavior of a steel beam is a function of the unbraced length Lb for the limit state of lateral-torsional buckling. In a composite beam, shear connectors are usually provided to transfer [...]

Shear Connections: Overview of the Design Process

By: Javier Encinas, PE | January 24, 2017 Shear connections are typically used to connect beams to other beams or columns. Such connections transfer shear, with minimum rotational restraint, as opposed to moment connections. This article is an overview of the AISC provisions for the design of shear connections. Our software ASDIP STEEL will be used to support the discussion. What are the components of a shear connection? A typical shear connection is composed of three parts: support, connector, and beam. The support may be another beam or girder, a column flange, or a column web. The [...]

Steel and Composite Beams: A Design Overview

By: Javier Encinas, PE | June 20, 2016 ASDIP STEEL includes the design of steel and composite beams. This structural engineering software is based on the latest AISC 360 provisions. This article provides an engineering background overview of the structural design of steel and composite beams. Beams are structural elements that support loads applied transversely, which produce a combination of shear and bending stresses. Composite action is developed when two load-carrying structural elements, such as a concrete floor slab and its supporting steel beams, are integrally connected and deflect as a single unit, substantially increasing its strength and stiffness. A [...]

ASDIP STEEL: Base Plate and Anchor Rod Design

By: Javier Encinas, PE | January 30, 2016 ASDIP STEEL includes the design of base plates as well as the anchorage system. This blog post covers the principal design steps. This structural engineering software is based on the AISC Design Guides # 1, Blodgett "Design of Welded Structures", and the ACI 318-11 Appendix D. Base plates are structural elements at the bottom of columns to spread the concentrated load over a larger supporting area, so that the bearing stresses are under the acceptable limits. Depending on the type of frame the column belongs to, the base plate may be subject to compression, [...]
