Steel column base connections represent a critical aspect of modern structural engineering, particularly in seismic regions where the integrity and ductility of these joints can determine overall ...

A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...

Metal building system builders have an option to use straight columns or tapered columns to hold up the structure. In many metal building applications, straight columns may have more steel than they ...

Engineers studying the collapsed Florida tower said there seemed to be less steel reinforcement in certain areas than would have been expected from the 1979 design drawings. Share full article ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...
