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.

European domestic long steel prices remained unchanged in the week to Wednesday July 1, with weak demand continuing to limit upward price momentum across the region.

Steel Structure Warehouse and Logistics Buildings are therefore gaining attention across industrial parks, distribution centers, manufacturing clusters, agricultural logistics networks, and regional storage facilities. Compared with conventional construction approaches, steel structural systems can provide a practical combination of structural performance, space utilization, modular fabrication, and efficient installation.

Structural steel framing is a durable, reliable, cost-effective, sustainable option for low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise building projects and typically refers to building frame systems where the vertical and horizontal structural elements are formed by a system of structural steel beams and columns. Column spacing is typically 25 to 45 feet on center, with spacing variations lower and higher depending on architectural requirements. The range of available shapes and sizes allows virtually any architectural requirement to be met.

The main topic of discussion in the European long steel market this week has been the new country-specific quotas (CSQs) of the EU, which market participants had been eagerly awaiting.
