For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

Heavy Steel Frames: Fabricated from hot-rolled steel sections, heavy steel frames are significantly thicker—often above 6 mm—and heavier. They are used in buildings where high load-bearing capacity is ...

Performance-based structural fire design of steel frames can eliminate fire protection on up to half of a building’s floor beams, according to a two-year study of PBSFD. Still, structural engineers ...

Keywords: hybrid simulation, collapse assessment, steel moment frames, steel gravity frames, integration methods, substructuring technique Abstract: This report presents two series of hybrid ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) has released the first-ever set of U.S. recommendations for hybrid steel frames with mass timber floors, according to a news release. Design Guide ...

SpeedCore slashed 40% off the construction schedule for the 850-ft-tall Rainier Square Tower in Seattle, according to the structural engineer. Structural engineers interested in a novel high-rise ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

Inside the workshop, a fabricator welds along a large steel frame laid out across multiple supports. Bright welding arcs and controlled movements ensure each joint is securely fused, creating a strong ...

Today, fabrication has moved toward a rigid, data-driven workflow where the digital model dictates every move on the floor. When producing steel components for high-performance mechanical systems, ...
