Qingdao Newforge Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd.: Lithuania projects built in 2026

The installation of industrial steel structure is a key link in modern building construction, which is widely used in plants, warehouses, large facilities and other projects. It has the advantages of short construction period, high strength and good seismic performance. The core process includes construction preparation, component hoisting, connection and fixing, correction and adjustment, quality acceptance and other stages, which shall strictly comply with national specifications to ensure safety and accuracy.

This year, our list of top metal builders shows a steady industry, with the largest contractors and erectors reporting just a slight drop in the average tonnage and square footage of the metal buildings they constructed between 2024 and 2025.

General Storage Steel Warehouses are an essential solution for businesses seeking efficient, safe, and flexible storage spaces. This article explains the structure, design features, operational benefits, and practical considerations to help business owners make informed decisions.

Welding expert Duane Miller wrote an excellent pair of articles for the February and March 2024 issues of STRUCTURE Magazine. The articles described 10 conditions where welds can experience uneven loading. These conditions can be problematic if not avoided or given special attention in design. The common assumption that applied loads cause uniform stresses in a weld does not apply for these conditions. However, what if you are using a design approach that never makes such an assumption? Connection design by inelastic analysis, for example using the component-based finite element method (CBFEM) such as implemented in IDEA StatiCa Connection, makes no broad assumptions about the distribution of stress in welds, or any other components. Stresses arise naturally in the analysis based on the stiffness of the various components of the connection. This article walks through each of Miller’s 10 conditions to identify what special attention they require when designing by inelastic analysis.

Prefab steel structure workshops are revolutionizing modern manufacturing and industrial setups. With their rapid construction, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, these structures address many pain points in traditional building methods. This article explores the key advantages, construction process, design considerations, and maintenance strategies for prefab steel workshops, offering businesses insights into optimizing their operations.
