Coupling beams are an important load-bearing element for structural engineers looking to improve the structural integrity of a variety of buildings. In this article, I will look at how to choose an appropriate coupling beam type for specific projects and
Our last course in cooperation with the Institution of Structural Engineers for 2022 is a must-see for anyone who is not familiar with advanced analysis types for steel connections available in the context of CBFEM, such as buckling, stiffness, joint resistance, capacity (seismic design) and fatigue. Practical application of these methods will be demonstrated through #IDEAStatiCa and various worked examples.
Shear walls are essential elements of structures, especially in high-rise buildings. When designing a shear wall with openings, it’s crucial to focus on the coupling beams since they can significantly affect the building’s lateral resistance capacity. Join this webinar to learn more about coupling beams, and how to code-check them quickly and easily in the IDEA StatiCa Detail application.
This three half-day e-conference explores how to use steel in an effective and sustainable way. Industry leaders from Arup, BCSA, COWI, and SCI – among many others – share best practices in design, fabrication, and reuse.
This webinar, in collaboration with IstructE, introduces the attendees to advanced fire design concepts for steel connections and steel/concrete members with the use of advanced CBFEM models and the corresponding analysis types.
We are delighted to announce that IDEA StatiCa UK – for the 5th consecutive year – is sponsoring the iStructE Structural Awards 2022, one of the most prestigious events in the world for structural engineering.
The Structural Awards 2022 shortlist brings together the best engineering projects from the past year, with a focus on sustainability, social impact, innovation, and ingenuity.
This year has been a complete overhaul of entry criteria and judging categories, to better reflect the changing responsibilities and requirements of structural engineering worldwide.
After 2 years, the annual event of the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) is back as a live event, and we are very excited to participate again as exhibitors. If you want to meet us in person, and also follow the presentations that will take place, then don’t miss this date!
The theme for this year is “How getting the joints right can save money, save material, and avoid failures”
A number of presentations will focus on the theme for the day – how getting the joints right can save money, save material, and avoid failures. Powerful tools enable us to do exciting things, but care is needed. Complex joints need careful thought and communication and may be facilitated by different manufacturing techniques.
Templates for steel connection design had a major improvement with the implementation of the Connection Browser. Now, more than 10.000 users per month experience the tool. If you’re wondering why and what you can achieve with it, this post has
We encounter it almost everywhere and don’t even think about it. Replacing it with another construction material is nearly impossible. Yes, we are talking about reinforced concrete. A composite material that has been used in construction for more than 170
Prefabricated members are often very slender in order to minimize their weight, to optimize the material and, last but not least, to improve the aesthetic aspect of the whole building. But how to deal with the stability of precast
