Structural Steel Detailing - Its Standards and Its Software Tools

Structural steel detailing is the design and drafting of the connections between the steel beams and columns in the massive steel frameworks that form the skeleton of most multi-story buildings in the western hemisphere. The design of these connections is naturally very critical, since the decoupling of any beams from columns could result in collapse of the steel framework as well as the building, and the consequent deaths of thousands of people. For that reason there are very exacting standards which are followed for structural steel detailing. These standards are different for every country, and are compiled by recognized industry associations of the concerned country. Examples of such associations are: American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Canadian Institute of " " (CISC) SBI Swedish Institute of " " EUROFER, the European Confederation of Iron and Steel Industries African Iron & Steel Association Arab Iron & Steel Union [AISU] Wor...

Raft foundation drawings creates perfect foundation of the building structures

CAD Drafting India is a leading outsourcing raft foundation drawings services provider company. A raft foundation is a reinforced steel and concrete foundation. Raft Foundation, is when concrete is poured over the whole area of the house making it look like a big slab and strong enough to carry the total weight of the structure. Raft foundations require special design and construction and should only be considered if it is done by special contractors and supervised fully by your qualified engineer or architect. Raft Foundations is used when soil conditions like dolomite, clay and collapsible soils are encountered. These foundations consist of a solid slab of heavily reinforced concrete covering the entire building footprint area. This ensures that the building doesn't get damage when the soil falls away or moves under the building. Our engineering team is passionate about what they do and this can be seen in the quality of work. We also pride our self in being the most cost effe...

CAD Conversion Service

Architects, designers and local authorities; they can all express the problem with their large format images and the answer's right in this very sentence; large. The problem with plans, large format drawings and blueprints is that they are ridiculously large. Of course, in their own way, this is pretty justified as they use a certain level of detail to emphasise what is required for those certain projects, however this makes them incredibly inconvenient to handle and examine when it is required. For years people were putting large format drawings onto the likes of microfiche, microfilm and aperture cards in an effort to get something large into a small space. Whilst the fiche and films did the trick a number of years back, they have become something of a niche area with readers becoming increasingly harder to find, difficult to repair and limited in their scope. So it only makes sense that the next step would be to head the way that most document types are going; digital. Often p...
