Steel Connection Designer Skill
Purpose
The Steel Connection Designer Skill designs structural steel connections including bolted and welded connections per AISC 360 and AISC 341 for seismic applications.
Capabilities
- Bolted connection design per AISC 360
- Welded connection design
- Moment connection design per AISC 358
- Shear tab, end plate, angle connections
- Base plate and anchor rod design per AISC Design Guide 1
- Seismic connection detailing per AISC 341
- Column splice design
- Bracing connection design
