Beam to HSS with Single Plate Shear Connection
When connecting a beam to a hollow structural section (HSS) using a single plate shear connection, the goal is to create a strong and efficient connection that can transfer shear forces between the beam and the HSS. Here is an overview of the general process for designing such a connection: Determine the loads and design

Available Moment vs Unbraced Length per 13th Ed. Manual.xls
The available moment depends on several factors, including the material properties, cross-sectional shape, and the level of bracing or restraint provided along the member’s length. Here are some key points to understand: Bracing and stability: Bracing or restraint can be provided through various means, such as cross-bracing, diaphragms, or connections to other structural elements. The

Reinforced concrete column capacity for axial force and bending about Y-axis Eurocode 2, EN 1992-1-1 (2004)
To determine the capacity of a reinforced concrete column for axial force and bending about the Y-axis according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1), the following steps can be followed: Calculate the design axial force (NEd): This is the combination of axial loads acting on the column, such as dead loads, live loads, and any other
COLUMN SHEAR CAPACITY
Column shear capacity refers to the ability of a column to resist shear forces. Shear forces act parallel to the cross-section of the column and can cause the column to fail by shearing along certain planes. The shear capacity of a column depends on several factors, including the column’s dimensions, material properties, and the support
