The performance of precast construction heavily relies on its connections, whose lack of knowledge can lead to oversimplified and conservative designs. This study uses a FEM-based numerical model to ...

IIT Madras researchers have developed a new tool to accurately model the beam-column joints in buildings accurately and predict when they might fail.

Fewer than 100 units of the 2025 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana were produced with driver-side doors featuring improper impact beam welds ...

This paper presents an investigation on the seismic behavior of steel moment frames with mechanical hinge beam-to-column connections. The connection uses a mechanical hinge to carry shear force and a ...

Crosby described a column welded connection that didn’t look out of the ordinary—except for the cage hanging off a nearby truss. That’s where the welder needed to perch to access the weld.

Its report states the beam crack was caused by "undirectional bending fatigue," and because it formed along a weld, that accelerated the formation of the fracture.

Construction of steel framed structures includes construction of its foundations, columns, beams and floors systems. Construction phases of structural steel frame are discussed.
