Steel Detailing for Structural Engineers and Steel Fabricators

Steel Detailing for Structural Engineers & Steel Fabricators

A structural design details plan of any building facility or the infrastructure undergoes several stages of inspection, analysis, and redesigning before it is sent for fabrication of steel and execution on site. Once the plan is finalized, Tekla detailers prepare steel shop drawings to coordinate with the steel fabricator. One thing that is ensured during the transition of drawings from designing to fabrication is that the structural integrity is given the highest importance.

Importance of Structural Integrity in Modern Construction

For most modern buildings have a frame structures, which have columns and beams along with trusses as an integral part of the structural frame and the structural integrity depends on the strength of these elements.

Hence the structural steel detailing becomes crucial. Imparting appropriate strength through an appropriate hybrid of steel and rebar to critical structural members ensures desired load…
