The UK government has brought British Steel into public ownership as of July 16, aiming to secure the future of domestic steel production in the country.

Com­ing to the first quarter of 2026, the world H beam steel Market is also facing a turning point. Driven by rapid infrastructure building in U.S., Southeast Asia and Latin America, as well as energy transition projects, the need for H-beams (particularly high-strength types like ASTM A572 Grade 50 H Beam and A992 H Beam) is beginning to recover strongly. However, trade-protecting policies, fluctuation of raw material prices and green and low-carbon transition are reforming the global price system altogether.

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.

Modular steel construction could transform the construction industry and go some way to helping the sector cut its carbon footprint.

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.
