Structural Steel Design, Structural Steel Detailing Services @ OutsourceStructuralDrafting.com

Oct. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Steel is one of the most preferred materials to be used in the various constructional projects. Structural steel has become the favorite of the architects and the engineers because of their unique characteristics. Steel is mostly used as the framing material because of its high flexibility and resiliency. Steel offers a better performance under harsh conditions like hurricanes and earthquakes. Outsource Structural Drafting is a one stop destination for structural steel design and detailing services.

Another important point is that steel can be modified in the future to cater to the changing requirements. An optimum quality of structural steel design, structural steel detailing is required in order to build a structure of maximum stability and safety.

The structural steel design includes the following concepts and services:

•   Structural analysis
•   Calculation of various loads
•   Design of the building foundations
•   Design of roof structure and retaining walls
•   Design of beams and columns
•   Design of slabs and frames

There are various factors which are to be considered during the structural steel design. They are both external factors and the internal factors. The external factors are the severity of the natural calamities that is prevalent in the particular geographical area of the construction project. The other factors are the various types of loads such as the live loads and the dead loads. The various parameters are evaluated thoroughly in order to develop effective steel designs for the structural projects.

The various considerations regarding the structural steel design services are as follows:

•   Weight of the steel
•   Connections between the steel members
•   Metallurgical characteristics of steel
•   Cost estimates of steel detailing, fabrication and erection
•   AISC codes and standards

The whole process of structural steel design can be divided into three different areas. The three areas are the main members, secondary members and the connections. The main members are the skeleton of the whole framework and they withstand most of the loads imparted on the structure.

These include the beams, columns, trusses and girders. The secondary members carry only specific loads. These include stairs, bracing and decking. And, the connections are the joints which are used to transfer the forces between the various members of the steel assembly.
