Structural steel details that guarantee the stability of the building

Structural steel detailing can be described as the development of detailed drawings for fabricators that include plans, drawings, reports, and other essential documentation. It is a vital process of the building and construction process. It becomes an important aspect for the manufacturing and construction business. It is widely used in the construction of residential and commercial buildings, as well as shipbuilding, shipbuilding, industrial plants and facilities. In today’s era, engineers, fabricators, and contractors are using this technique to share their ideas and input. So it works as a bridge of information.

The details are used to understand the specification of materials, dimensions, size and other relevant information. The details of the structural steel must be very precise, since it is the base of the future construction. All companies must have to follow international standards for steel detailing. A steel detailer must have skills such as drawing, reasoning, visualization, drafting, and logic. The skills required as steel detailing is a very complex process and a single mistake can have a huge effect.

Various software such as STAAD, RISA, SAP2000, RAM, PCA, SAFE, SDS/2, Tekla and ETABS used for structural detailing. Structural detailing services include:

o Fabrication Drawings, Shop Drawings, Assembly Drawings, Field Details, Structure Drawings
o Sheet metal design and detailing
o Working drawings for structures
o Detail of joists
o Post-Tension Detail
o Detailing of connections, such as beam, column and foundation connections
o Platform layout and bill of materials
o Estimation of materials, calculation of felt and field cloth

Structural details ensure the strength and stability of the construction against natural disasters. It also provides an affordability that traditional buildings cannot achieve. In the past, building stability was the main issue for the structural industry. But improved technology for steel detailing has solved that problem. Quality, material weight, schedule, and cost estimates are the key aspects of structural steel detailing.

Now a whole day, this technique is widely used by the structural industry. All countries are using it to build large infrastructures. Dubai is the great example for the whole world.
