PROGRAM:
Steel Castings for Complex & Heavily Loaded Connections
Presented by:
Suzy Rajamoney, P.E., S.E.
Course Description:
The use of structural steel castings in building and bridge design is ever increasing. The freeform geometry inherent in the steel casting manufacturing process has led to castings becoming a preferred solution for architecturally exposed steel connections. However, freedom of geometry can also be leveraged to provide elegant solutions to the most difficult engineering challenges.
This course reviews structural requirements that may warrant the consideration of cast steel connection solutions. It will present case studies of projects in which case steel connections were used to simplify the design, fabrication and erection of complex structural connections. An overview of the casting manufacturing process will be included, as will be a discussion on the specification of structural castings.
