The hot-rolled coil market in Northern Europe continued to show positive momentum through the week ending Friday August 28, with market sources reporting higher tradeable levels and offers.

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.

Discover why steel structure is reshaping the future of construction. This article explores the key factors driving its mainstream adoption, including policy incentives, green sustainability, seismic resilience, prefabricated efficiency, and long-term economic value. Learn how steel structure is leading the industry's transformation towards industrialization and low-carbon development.

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.

Qingdao Newforge Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. makes its debut at the 2nd Build Expo Abidjan Ivory Coast at Booth F11. As of the third day of the exhibition, the company has received hundreds of professional visitors, held 15 in-depth discussions with representatives from local construction companies, building material suppliers and real estate enterprises, and signed 2 preliminary letters of intent. This participation aims to understand the actual demands of the West African market and establish initial business connections.

Prices for cold-rolled coil and hot-dipped galvanized coil rose in late August, supported by tight supply and improving demand.
