Steel Connection 1.0

The Steel Connection software offers a streamlined solution for calculating structural connections in accordance with the standards set by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). This tool effectively addresses the challenges faced by engineers working under time constraints or those encountering recurring errors in their calculations.

Key features of Steel Connection include:

• Efficient estimation processes for both dead and live loads.
• The ability to sketch and connect various calculations while adhering to AISC standards.
• Input capabilities for determining dead loads based on building consumables.
• Live load calculations derived from structural usages.
• The construction of various beam configurations beyond AISC standards through manual input and customizable connections.

The results of the calculations are presented visually in a diagram that illustrates all calculated parameters clearly and accurately. Specific functionalities include:

• WUF-F: Features for sketching beam-to-column connections, including a web beam-column connection sheet and bolt details.
• RBS: Tools for sketching welding processes and estimating cutting rates necessary to create plastic hinges outside the column.

Overall, the application facilitates calculations with minimal error, while offering transparency throughout the calculation process, making it a valuable asset for engineers in the field.
