At Gorman Civil Engineering, our recent analysis underscores the critical importance of using same-size rectangular hollow sections (RHS) for column-to-beam moment connections. We examined two scenarios under identical loading conditions: Scenario 1: Both the column and beam are 200x200 mm RHS. This configuration achieved optimal stress transfer to the outer flanges, effectively preventing local buckling and ensuring structural integrity. Scenario 2: The column is 200x200 mm RHS, but the beam is 200x100 mm RHS. This mismatch led to significant local buckling within the inner flanges of the column due to uneven force distribution. Conclusion: To avoid local buckling and ensure efficient stress transfer in RHS connections, it is crucial to use beams and columns of the same size. This simple yet vital consideration can significantly enhance the performance and safety of your structural designs.

Hi everyone, One of the most crucial aspects of structural design is accurately determining the loads that a structure must withstand throughout its lifetime. 🌍🏗️ I’ve recently compiled some notes based on ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineering) 7-16, the standard reference for minimum load requirements in construction, to explore the different types of loads that affect modern structural design. Each type of load—whether it’s dead loads, live loads, or environmental loads—has its own unique characteristics and must be carefully considered when designing resilient structures. By adhering to the guidelines in ASCE 7-16, we can ensure that our structures are not only safer and more efficient, but also capable of withstanding the test of time and nature. 💡🔧 If you have feedback, suggestions, or spot any areas for improvement or correction, please feel free to message me or leave a comment below. #StructuralEngineering #ASCE716 #BuildingSafety #CivilEngineering #Loads #ResilientDesign #EngineeringAStandards

Accurately determining structural loads is indeed one of the most critical aspects of resilient design, and ASCE 7-16 provides an excellent framework for this. The focus on environmental loads, such as wind and seismic forces, is something I find particularly important, especially as we see increasing variability in weather patterns and more frequent extreme events. One aspect I always emphasize in my projects is the load combinations outlined in ASCE 7-16, which allow for a more realistic and comprehensive safety assessment by considering multiple loading conditions simultaneously. In my own work, particularly when designing multi-story buildings or industrial facilities, this approach is key to ensuring both safety and long-term performance. For international projects, comparing ASCE 7-16 with other standards like Eurocode or Australian Standards is always crucial to account for local conditions. It’s a step that helps tailor designs to be not just code-compliant but region-specific and resilient. Great share, and I’m always open to discussing resilient design practices with anyone interested! #StructuralEngineering #ASCE716 #BuildingSafety #ResilientDesign #EngineeringStandards #ClimateResilience

Unlocking the Philosophies of Structural Design 🚧 I recently had the pleasure of delivering a 4-hour intensive training session on Steel Structure Analysis and Design, where we delved deep into the core philosophies guiding modern structural design. From load cases to design methodologies, we focused on building a solid foundation for making smarter, more informed engineering decisions. Reference Codes are, 1. AISC 360 - Specifications for Structural Steel Buildings 2. ASCE 7 - Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures 3. AISC 341 – Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings 4. AISC 358 – Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications Sharing knowledge and nurturing collaboration has always been a passion of mine as a civil & structural engineer. Training sessions like these reaffirm how crucial it is to disseminate the wisdom we've gained over the years, ensuring our teams are not just prepared but empowered to tackle the challenges ahead. Looking forward to more opportunities to contribute to our engineering community’s growth and development. #StructuralEngineering #DesignPhilosophy #KnowledgeSharing #CivilEngineering #SteelStructures #EngineeringInnovation #ProfessionalDevelopment
