A bolted connection rarely gets the attention a beam or slab gets. On the drawing, it looks simple. In the bill of materials, it’s one line. That mismatch is why several of the most famous structural ...

A sustainable and resilient built environment requires structural solutions that minimise the use of high-environmental impact materials, while ensuring sound structural behaviour to extreme events.

EZbolt is a Python program that calculates bolt forces in a bolt group subject to shear and in-plane torsion. It does so using both the Elastic Method and the Instant Center of Rotation (ICR) method ...

Tim Bradshaw is all about giving shop tours, especially to structural engineers. As vice president of project delivery at Owen Steel Co., Columbia, S.C., Bradshaw has been designing and fabricating ...

Fewer cross-ties, simpler link beams and less fire protection. The nearly 1.4-million-sq-ft 200 Park high-rise in San José, Calif., though only 300 ft tall, has taken Seattle’s 850-ft-tall proof of ...

Years ago David Deem worked as a project manager at a structural fabricator that did its detailing in-house. If he had a question about sequencing, connections, or any other, well, detail on the ...

In eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) subjected to large lateral demands, inelastic actions are mostly concentrated in shear links. The links vary in size and, when employed in frames, are known to be ...
