Structural Steel Knowledge Base
Structural Steel? can anyone give me some information on structural steel for low rise and medium rise structures? all the sites on the net are advertising their products rather than telling me what it does
What are the process involve in manufacturing of structural steel? I am student. Working on manufacturing material. I exactly want to know what are the process involve in manufacturing of structural steel. For manufacturing structural steel what are the raw materials?Is it steel or crude materials? If it steel then what are the process which convert it into structural steel. Thnks
Book on basics of structural steel construction? I have been working in the construction industry for a few years, mostly with concrete. I am about to be launched into a role heavily involved with structural steel, but have little experience with steel. Can anyone recommend a book that would familiarize me with the basics, i.e. materials, methods of erection, tools used, etc?
Will Jet Fuel Burn At Such A High Temperature To Liquify Structural Steel? I am not asking for answers like 'Jet fuel can weaken structural steel by 50%-60%, which led to the fall of the World Trade Centre in 9/11.' The reason behind asking this question is because it is reported that liquified steel was seen dripping from the building. So i want to know what caused to steel to liquify in a matter of minutes. Please do not give 'crappy' answers to this questions.
Buildings: structural steel ties, are they all the same? Many old buildings in the UK are made structurally safer by putting steel ties in to hold the walls upright. I thought these were done under heat and the tie would then contract on cooling to pull the walls in tight. Is this true? Also, there are different end plates. Some are Xs some are in the shape of an S. Is there a reason for the differing plates?
Need a "measurable quality goal" relating to the painting of structural steel? I am the QC Manager of a Steel Fabrication Company in the States. I am overhauling our quality control program to the newest standard and one of my requirements is that I must have at least one measurable goal that is able to be indexed and recorded. Any help possible ASAP. I want people from all areas to respond so that I can get a better pool of viewpoints.
want to learn structural steel calculations basics? my basic education is diploma level but i want to learn structural steel calculation basic for designing small structures, want to learn basic of calc for selecting str. members / welding conn. / how applied forces...i live at thane mumbai...anybody can suggest.
Why are large telescope reflectors made of glass instead of a sensible structural material like steel? Primary reflectors for astronomical telescopes up to 8.4 metres diameter are made of glass. As an ex truck driver I can't imagine a more stressful job than driving an oversize, expensive brittle object like that to the top of a mountain to be installed in an observatory. Why not make it out of steel? Make the surface parabolic by spinning it until it's solidified, instead of grinding it. Then plate or vapour-deposition a layer of inert silvery metal like platinum on the surface.
equipment requirements for structural steel erection? hi guys... i need to Identify and justify the plant and equipment requirements, including safety equipment, for a structural steel superstructure... anyone help? hmm. the question dosnt say the size of the construction etc. im guessing it would be just a normal 2 storey commercial unit...
Can I bend steel frames and still get structural support from it? I need to support some curved reinforced concrete strips that form the wall and roof of my building. (It curves from the wall and transforms into the roof). Steel frames will be the least clunky support for this structure. However, can I bend the steel frames into a curve that follows the shape of the wall/roof and still support the structure? or do I have to have straight steel I-beams going through the building. PS, i am an architecutural student trying to finish her studio work.
