Here is another example of how a steel detailer can make things a bit better. In some cases, it may be practical to re-orient gusset plates so they align with the beam web. After this move, EOR will likely approve the alternative detail without web stiffeners. If we attach hangers to the existing beams, we can not only avoid stiffener fabrication but also eliminate some field welding. However, this approach isn’t always straightforward. It’s crucial to ensure that relocating the hanger will not cause collisions with architectural finishes, walls, or other building components.

What is the dimensional stability of No.4 stainless steel decorative plate sheet plate? No.4 stainless steel decorative plate sheet plates offer exceptional dimensional stability, making them a reliable choice for precision applications. The No.4 finish, with its fine brushed texture, does not compromise the material's ability to maintain its shape and size over time. Stainless steel's inherent resistance to thermal expansion and contraction ensures that these plates remain stable under varying temperature conditions. Additionally, their robustness against mechanical stress and environmental factors further enhances their dimensional integrity. This stability is crucial for applications requiring precise and consistent dimensions, such as in construction, manufacturing, and high-end architectural projects.

The design and fabrication of the truss structure allows for great flexibility, as it can be customized according to the needs. The shape, span, material, nodes, etc. of the truss can be adjusted and modified to meet the needs of different projects. The truss structure can also be used in conjunction with other structural forms, such as concrete, reinforced concrete, etc., to achieve the best carrying capacity and economy. In addition, the assembly and disassembly of the truss structure is convenient, and it can be used in different sites and environments, and has great adaptability. In short, the infinite variability of truss structure makes it a widely used form of building structure.#truss #steelmesh

Often, structural designs will not typically consider riser shafts, particularly the detailing of structural steel on their perimeters so that they can be fire rated. However, as our Director @Nick Atkinson has been at pains to explain to structural engineers across the UK, while small, the required floors within the riser shafts can have a significant impact on the structural design. To find out who we work with and why choosing the most suitable modular riser flooring, such as RiserSafe®, is integral to the structural design, click here: https://lnkd.in/eT3fBKMr #PassiveFireProtection #ConsultancyService #StructuralDesign

Trade: Metal/Steel I’ll be listing down the items that come under this trade, simple classification about different components, and what should come to your mind when the client asks about Metal Takeoff Fencing: There could be multiple fencing types on Site Plans.

A speed square 📐is a versatile tool used in carpentry and construction for measuring, marking, and guiding cuts. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of it: 1. Marking Straight Lines📏 • Align the speed square’s edge against the board and use the straight edge to draw a 90-degree line quickly. • Flip it to the angled side for diagonal or angled marks. 2. Angles and Miters 📐 • Use the pivot point to mark angles. Place the pivot at one edge and rotate the square until the desired angle aligns with the board’s edge. • Great for setting up miter cuts (e.g., 45°). 3. Rip Guide 🪵🪚 • Use it as a guide for a circular saw. Hold the square firmly against the edge of the board, and the saw base will follow the square’s straight edge for precise cuts. 4. Scribe Lines 〰️ • Use the notches along the ruler edge to scribe evenly spaced parallel lines for ripping boards. 5. Check for Square 🔳 • Check the squareness of corners by placing the square against the joint. Gaps indicate the joint isn’t 90 degrees. 6. Quick Depth and Height Measurements • Use the ruler side for quick depth or height checks while working on cuts or layouts. 7. Roofing Measurements🛖 • Use the degree markings to measure pitch angles for rafters and roofs. • The common and hip/val markings assist in finding accurate rafter angles. 8. Layout Tool🛠️ • Quickly divide a board into equal sections by marking with the ruler side. • Use it for precise layouts when working on framing or cabinetry. By mastering these techniques, a speed square becomes an indispensable tool for improving accuracy and efficiency on the job site! #tools #toolsofthetrade #fyp #reels #constructionlife #realestate

#rollpassdesign Where is the guarantee that your new pass design will work? This is a question my customers often ask me. There are no guarantees, I answer. Of course, if we are talking about rebar, round or square, then for such profiles, as a rule, there are no surprises, and the new design begins to work on the first try. But when it comes to such complex profiles as beams, channels or sheet piles, then such a design always requires modification after the first, second, and sometimes more, starts. The only thing I can guarantee is that I perform these modifications for free, and my 25 years of experience will reduce the number of these modifications and the customer’s costs.
