DESIGNING AND VERIFYING ALL STEEL HALL CONNECTIONS IN UNDER AN HOUR
Still spending days designing, calculating and code-checking connections and anchors? Stop using archaic spreadsheet or simple tool approach that steals hours of your time. Lear how to adopt newest safe and fast approach. IDEA StatiCa’s Checkbot and Connection will change your life.
Solving RFIs Fast: Retrofitting and On-Site Fixes
When construction or renovation projects expose unknowns—unexpected clashes, legacy connections, or last-minute load changes—engineers face pressure to respond fast. Structural RFIs aren’t just paperwork; they’re time-sensitive problems with safety, compliance, and cost implications. IDEA StatiCa’s Connection app gives you the tools to resolve them decisively.
Case Study: Optimizing Connections At COEX Centre, Dubai Expo 2020
At the heart of Expo 2020 Dubai’s infrastructure, the Conference and Exhibition Centre (COEX) plays a pivotal role in hosting global events and delegates. While the focus openness and scale, the challenge lay in designing and verifying connections that could support such a bold, column-free space—efficiently, accurately, and sustainably.
Revolutionizing anchoring design for structural engineers
Anchoring design has long been one of the more complex aspects of structural engineering: evaluating multiple failure modes while working within the constraints of design standards often lacking comprehensive guidance. If you’ve ever struggled with conservative assumptions, excessive material use, or time-consuming calculations, we have the answer.
Case Study: Engineering Excellence at Expo 2020: The Opportunity Pavilion’s Steel Canopy
At Expo 2020 Dubai, the Opportunity Pavilion stood as a symbol of global collaboration and ambition. Designed by AGi Architects, this structure wasn’t just an architectural statement—it was an engineering challenge that required precision, innovation, and advanced structural analysis tools.
IDEA StatiCa and Hilti PROFIS Engineering Integration: A New Era of Structural Design Data Transfer
In September 2024, IDEA StatiCa and Hilti unveiled a major innovation for structural engineers—the seamless integration of Hilti’s PROFIS Engineering Suite (PE) with IDEA StatiCa Checkbot. This collaboration directly addresses one of the biggest challenges in modern engineering: efficient data transfer between multiple software platforms.
Understanding Shear Connections and Their Role in Transmitting Bending Moments
In steel structures, shear connections are typically designed to transmit only vertical shear forces, with the assumption that no bending moments are present. However, certain scenarios introduce bending moments into these connections, which can significantly influence their design and performance. Understanding these situations is crucial for ensuring structural integrity
