Beyond Engineer Specifications-Steel profile
This blog focuses on a crucial aspect of detailing: collaborating with fabricators and understanding steel profiles. Structural engineers typically specify steel profiles based on their calculations. However, as detailers, we need to consider two critical factors: Product Availability: Is the specified material readily available in the market?Fabrication Feasibility: Can the profile be easily fabricated? Balancing…
