Building design and complexity play a significant role in determining the amount of steel needed, as intricate designs may require specialized steel components or unique fabrication processes. Additionally, customization requirements can lead to fluctuations in steel prices, as customized steel is often ...

structural columns, beams, bracing, plates, bolts, anchors, welds, and additional 3D objects are also covered. To complete the learning guide, you will learn to generate all of the required documentation files that enable your design to accurately and effectively communicate the final ...
Since 1997 he has been a licensed checking engineer for structural design in concrete and steel. In that same year he was appointed professor of concrete construction at the University of Kassel, Institute of Structural Engineering. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Michael Schmidt studied ci...
This book provides a practical guide to the basic essentials of earthquake engineering with a focus on seismic loading and structural design. Benefiting from the author’s extensive career in structural and earthquake engineering, dynamic analysis and lecturing, it is written from an industry perspectiv...
The ratio of stress to strain is the elastic modulus (stiffness), but the way a material responds to stress, and only the stress, defines the strength of the material. Pro-Tip: Check out How to Design for Part Stiffness Using a Geometric Approach for a deeper dive into stiffness and ...
