Improve Structural Steel Design with CAD Tools and Detailing

Steel is the most comprehensively used construction material worldwide today. Its strength, elasticity, durability, pliability, aesthetic appearance, eco-friendliness has made steel as the fundamental element of virtually every industrial or commercial structure in existence. From high-rise buildings to skyscrapers, automobiles to rocket gantries, bridges to complex pipeline structures, the versatility and durability of steel makes these fixtures of recent civilization achievable!

Of course, with the introduction of steel structures brought the concept of structural steel design. The key of a structural steel design, as against architectural design, is the assertion of the structural integrity of a steel building, skyscraper, bridge, roof, etc. Structural steel design involves better understanding of the various kinds of steel and steel-based alloys, confidence on formulas describing load-bearing capacity and stress-resistance, among other factors, steel columns, beams, braces, hangers & connectors and the mathematics of building construction. If any of the structure component or design fails, disaster is bound to happen.

Structural steel design has shifted from focusing solely on the rigidity that steel can give to a structure, to the benefits that steel offers in structural flexibility, allowing a structure to better withstand the stresses of nature and human movements.

Initially, structural steel design was achieved through hours of painstaking manual calculation, drafting process and using trial and error methods. As the quality of steel has got better, so have the systems of structural steel design. Today, Computer Aided Design (CAD) is perhaps the most efficient and innovative tool in the development of structural steel design, relieving the structural engineer of the error-prune and tedious physical calculations and manual drafting procedures. CAD guarantees a much quicker and far more accurate design process at considerably less cost.
