Factors to be considered in Structural Steel design and Detailing
Steel-detailing-services
compliance with the widely accepted industry standards such as AISC,
CISC, BS and ASTM. The cost of structural steel system depends on
factors like the type of steel, dimensions, structural framing method
and the design techniques.
The AISC manual Structural steel construction evidently specifies the
design, detailing, fabrication and installment techniques for
structural steel used in buildings and structures. Additionally, the
Seismic Design section has clear provisions for seismic design of
steel structures.
Steel joists and Girders are designed, detailed and fabricated in
compliance with following Steel Joist Institute (SJI) standards:
• Specifications for Joist Girders.
• Specifications for K series, Open Web, Long-span & Deep Long-span,
LH Series Steel Joists
• Specifications for DLH Series Steel Joists
AISC manual also provides design guidelines for major serviceability
issues such as contraction and expansion, deflection, vibrations,
deformations, slippages in connections and deteriorations. These kind
of drifts in structural steel system under applied load conditions
must be avoided to prevent damage to various architectural aspects
such as building exteriors, interiors, roofs and ceilings. Deflection
limits for seismic upheavals are mentioned in FEMA standard manual.
The total thickness of structural members can be raised beyond that
required to meet stress requirements of building structure. Such
increase is calculated by the designer considering factors like the
material used, the frequency of use and the proposed service life. The
designer may consider possible number of replaceable wear plates to
render extremely severe climate conditions.
