Heavy Steel Frames: Fabricated from hot-rolled steel sections, heavy steel frames are significantly thicker—often above 6 mm—and heavier. They are used in buildings where high load-bearing capacity is ...

Cold-formed steel portal frames have emerged as a versatile and efficient structural system in modern construction. Their design exploits thin-walled steel sections, which are cold-formed to yield ...

Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...

For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

During the 1850s, due to the manufacturing processes being developed in Britain by Sir Henry Bessemer, it became possible – in theory – to produce sufficient steel of adequate quality to make it an ...
