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.

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.

A Special Functional Steel Warehouse is more than a storage structure—it is an engineered industrial system designed to optimize logistics flow, enhance structural durability, and support diverse operational requirements. This article explores how such warehouses solve critical pain points in industrial storage, including inefficiency, poor space utilization, environmental risks, and high operational costs. It also explains design principles, key benefits, applications, and why solutions provided by Newforge are increasingly adopted by global industries.
