Connection design is one of the last pieces of the structural engineer’s design process that is still mostly done by hand. The framing and connection design often influence each other. Designs can move beyond fix/pin end conditions and recognize actual joint stiffness.
Conquer Complex Connections
Engineers can consider joint stiffness and they can design more than simple shear connections with Bentley’s RAM structural design software suite. The solutions automate the design of many complex connections.
Attend this joint webinar presented by Bentley Systems and STRUCTURE Magazine on July 27th at 12:00 PM CST.
Here's what's included:
- Explore a variety of complex connections
- Take an in-depth look at end plates, baseplates, and truss connections
- Learn how to model realistic joint stiffness and reduced member properties that will affect overall building/frame stability
