In this article I am going to look at how IDEA StatiCa can be used to design and check virtually any type of splice connection. I will highlight any potential traps that might lie in wait for designer along the

They are with us for centuries and if you’re not a structural engineer, you will never notice them. And it’s OK, they should be made like this – inconspicuous, modest but unshakably safe. When you need to create a gusset
Upcoming Webinar Join us on Wednesday, 28th of July 2021 at 10:00am (BST) or 5:00pm (BST) Learn more about: Shear vs. moment connections How to define the correct force position When to change the model type of a member What load can
Fire resistance is the ability of a building structure to resist the effects of a fully developed fire without losing its load-bearing capacity, stability, integrity, and insulation. What limit states do we have to deal with, and how should a
Fatigue – initiation, and propagation of cracks in a material due to cyclic loading, is one of the most dangerous types of steel failures. It is a failure type when a material is subjected to repeated cycles of stress or
IDEA StatiCa Connection is a very general tool providing freedom in modeling, loading, and topology. Nevertheless, in some cases, basic operations used to be very time-consuming. An example was shifting two members so that their plates (top flanges) align with
An iconic building with an iconic name. ICON Växjö is a new landmark of the Swedish town Växjö. Thanks to one of our customers, PEIKKO, IDEA StatiCa software played an important role in this project analyzing the critical steel connection
Where are today’s limits of automation in structural design? Let’s step aside a little and look at standard workflows from a different perspective. What if the future of structural analysis is already here? There are big players in the field
IDEA StatiCa Connection changed the game in steel connection design a couple of years ago with a clear message – a software tool that is simple to use, powered by the most sophisticated methods. With that being said, there are
