Gusset plates are the unsung heroes of structural engineering, ensuring the integrity of steel connections. This article delves into the important elements of designing gusset plates, with a specific focus on tension and compression members. By utilizing IDEA StatiCa, we
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
Discover the strength and innovation behind HSS Connections in steel structures. Explore sample designs and a real-world application with IDEA StatiCa to understand steel hollow section connection details. In the world of structural engineering, precision and reliability are paramount. As
In the realm of structural engineering, the significance of connections cannot be overstated. They are the glue that holds steel structures together, providing not only stability but also the crucial ability to transmit loads effectively. Let’s take a closer look
When you first heard the term ‘lateral-torsional buckling’ at university you were a student who had no real idea of the importance of this phenomenon. That being said, you quickly understood just how important this topic is! What is lateral-torsional
Loved by architects, dreaded by manufacturers, HSS (Hollow Structural Section) connections of hollow steel sections can be a real nightmare, but when successfully designed, they manage to civilize the coldness of steel structures. Steel is a great material for creating
