American Electric Power (AEP) recently developed base shoe and standoff anchor bolt designs for its 765-kV lattice tower family. Developing a design process proved challenging, as a ready-to-use ...

The stiffness (K) and slenderness factor (λ) of a steel plate-based damper has been studied on the basis of elastic-inelastic-plastic buckling (EIP) modes and ...

Tapered plate girders are broadly used in structural engineering design as a great tool to provide improvement in stress distribution and efficiency in usage of material. Where the depth of such ...

The American Institute of Steel Construction has released Design Guide 38, SpeedCore Systems for Steel Structures. The document pertains to the nonproprietary concrete-filled composite steel plate ...

Today, fabrication has moved toward a rigid, data-driven workflow where the digital model dictates every move on the floor. When producing steel components for high-performance mechanical systems, ...

From the buildings people visit, to the homes they live in, to the roads they travel, the structural steel plate is a multipurpose construction material that provides fabrication versatility and ...
