Structural steel is a standard construction material that is made from specific grades of steel and formed in a range of industry standard cross-sectional shapes. Structural steel grades are formed ...

What is a Uniform Load? The outside effort acting on a structure is known as the load. Typically, the load alters the structure’s shape, which can lead to plastic deformation. It is described as a ...

Strength. Rigidity. Dependability. The ability to bear weight without buckling. These are all things that we look for when we build a mechanical structure. And in today’s Retrotechtacular we take a ...

In this article we will continue to look at building structural systems. Last month we discussed concrete, which is one of the most basic building construction components. To review, concrete is a ...
