Why Steel Connections are important in Structural Steel Design?
Steel construction has significant benefits over its counterparts like wood and
concrete construction such as excellent strength to weight ratio, fire resistance, ease
of installation and cost-effective maintenance.
With these benefits, though, come
some challenges that can best be resolved by a thorough knowledge of structural
steel domain and connection engineering in a structure.
For large establishments like bridge, skyscraper and power plans Structural steel is a
key element of the entire structural system.
Steel columns, girders, beams, roof
joists, decks, handrails, studs and framing are a few examples of basic steel
construction elements.
An experienced Structural engineer understands not only how
to interconnect these elements for better strength but also the basics of how the
structural system will perform in severe climate conditions.
Historically, 8 out of 10 structural steel failures happen at connections
