Calculating the Critical Buckling Load of a Steel Column: A Structural Engineering Walkthrough https://lnkd.in/ePk4_gEp

Structural engineers need to understand the risks of creep when designing a building that is supported on isolation bearings. Creep is the name we give to the gradual compression of bearings over time. From a structural point of view, you want something that will support your building on day one, but continue to provide support on day 10,000. The bearing must not crush down or gradually collapse. If this happens, you might end up with a situation where the building is not correctly supported with likely zero chance of correction. This can also risk poor acoustic separation if connections gradually become stiffer over time. The key is designing and constructing buildings with longevity in mind, that’s why we provide an engineering justification for the 100-year warranty on our bearings, as well as providing extensive testing and site inspections. We don’t view these as nice to have extras, but as essential requirements if you want to get the engineering right. #VibrationControl #StructuralEngineering #ConstructionEngineering

Understanding and correctly applying the Rigid-Zone Factor is essential for accurate structural analysis and design. By accounting for  the varying degrees of rigidity in different materials and connection types, engineers can ensure more reliable and safe structural  performance.

CSD Engineers regularly contribute to award-winning projects, such as the 2013 SEA-WI Excellence in Wisconsin Engineering Award for the Steel Dynamics rolling mill 2 addition project. CSD was hired by SDI to perform the structural engineering for the mill building structure, building foundations, electrical equipment buildings, machinery access platforms, and machinery foundations for the 82,000 square-foot addition to their rolling mill. One of the challenges faced in the steel rolling process is the large horizontal shear forces that milling stands and equipment are subjected to. These forces result in significant overturning moments and uplift forces on the supporting foundations. Resisting forces of this magnitude can be difficult, especially when the dimensions of the machinery constrain the support dimensions. For the vertical mill stands and the Breakdown Mill, engineering ingenuity and experience were used to design efficient foundations that can withstand the large bending moments, torsion, and shear induced by the equipment loads. #structuralengineering #constructionengineering

When designing heavy lifting equipment, one of big concern will be the WELD CRACK. While structural calculations may succeed in static structural analysis, it's does not guarantee the fatigue performance. In many cases, fatigue analysis is neglected under the assumption that if static analysis passes, so will fatigue performance. This approach is incorrect for cyclic load and will ultimately result in structural issues later, such as premature weld cracks on the component. Therefore, details analysis on the weldment need to be carried on to assure that the structural is meeting the working cycle requirement and safe under fatigue load, thus preventing catastrophic failure and injuries.

The selection of vibration isolation pads for structural engineering applications should consider factors like equipment type, weight, vibration and noise levels, and project requirements. Neoprene rubber pads and cork pads are commonly used for their vibration isolation properties and durability. Consulting with a structural engineer or vibration specialist is recommended for determining the best isolation pads for a specific project.
