If an I-shaped section is loaded in two directions (in both weak and strong axes), how can I find the maximum load-carrying capacity of them beam? There is an interaction equation in AISC 360-10, but it's for beams which are also loaded axially.…

I have a project that includes some standard AISC clevises on threaded rods in pure tension. I am trying to find guidance on how best to address the possibility that the rod could rotate with respect to the clevises over time, causing the clevis to…

I have been trying to determine the response coefficients for seismic analysis of Non building structures in ASCE 7-10 and found that the value of R, the response coefficient, is larger in case steel connections are detailed using AISC-341 than…

In the AISC's Steel Construction Manual Table 8-4 "Coefficients C for Eccentrically Loaded Weld Groups", it mentions the Special Case where the load is not in plane with the weld group. However, this Special Case is not mentioned again for the…
