Structural Steel Design Software Can Make Your Projects Flawless And Efficient

Image
It is a known fact that even a minute discrepancy in measurements of steel structural engineering can lead to major failures. A lot of money goes into such engineering projects. Apart from money, hours, days of energy is too invested in them. If mistakes or errors begin to take place, both energy and money will get wasted, which is something no construction or manufacturing company wants. This is why using a top-quality steel structure software becomes important. Features of ASDIP STEEL 5 are being talked about online as this software is expected to be one of the best steel structure software in the market. What are the reasons behind its popularity? Let’s find out. l         Softwares of this type are made in such a way that they comply with certain data pertaining to building plans. If engineers use such a software, then incidences of errors and structural failure would go down considerably. Contractors will be able get their desired results l       Construction engineers or pro

Shear Lug Design - Overview of the ACI Provisions

Image
Shear lugs are steel elements welded to the underside of base plates to resist shear loads. The design of shear lugs may be time-consuming since it included the check of a number of limit states per the ACI 318-19 anchoring provisions. But why do you need to design a shear lug? And if you need it, how do you design it? What are the limit states to be checked? Are there any additional dimensional requirements? I have prepared a blog post with a short video with a brief overview of the new requirements for shear lugs in the latest ACI 318 anchoring provisions, using ASDIP STEEL as the supporting tool.
