I'm finding that I have the following message: MAX. PENETRATION ERROR 11.0035E-03 AT NODE PIPELINE-1.638 OF CONTACT PAIR...
Fellow engineers, I am running into a problem in the field where beam penetrations through my steel beams need to occur. Our detail shows that the depth of the penetration can be D/3 (D = depth of steel beam) and the length of the penetration is 3/4*D. This rectangular penetration has fillet...
Hi guys, I need to prepare pipe penetration (vertical and horizontal) details on structural members (beams, slabs, walls and staircase). Any reference that you can suggest? Is there any standard details that can be follow? E.g., for beams, penetration is allowed at some distance from the...
In AISC it appears as though the only way to accomplish a CJP / Full-Pen weld is either to weld from both sides or apply a backing (backer?) bar. In a case where I might specify a Partial-Joint Penetration weld for up to 1/4" material, butt (or square) to 5/16" or thicker, will my "partial"...
- A waffle slab is really just a permutation of a two way flat slab. As such, most any penetration that you could make in a flat slab could also be made in a waffle slab. See this free publication for guidance: Link. 2) The concentration of capacity at the ribs has both benefits and drawbacks: a) It can be handy to know where the important reinforcement resides. b) If a 6" conduit absolutely ...
This has been bothering me for some time, I have noticed there is no longer a maximum depth of incomplete penetration on girth welds per Table 341.3.2 Acceptance Criteria for Welds. I remember in the past it was 1mm maximum depth, now it only refers to the cumulative length. Hypothetically...
