Shuellmi, I work on mostly single family projects. Usually high-end additions/ renovations and some custom homes. We have structural engineers that we usually use. For the straightforward stuff, I would like to start doing my own calcs.
JeromeS: thanks. I'm pretty familiar with the structural formulas. I might just be over thinking the process because I haven't really sized anything since grad school. Basically, I'm just looking for some reference material.
Resources for Residential Steel Sizing
Can anyone suggest any books, NCARB type monographs, webinar, etc for brushing up on steel sizing for residential projects? Thanks in advance.
wl2/8 = M
M/fofb = Sx
f of b = 24,000
and... you're done. That'll be $250, please
steel in residential? are you talking multi family?
code might have rules of thumb regarding lintels
