Eccentrically Loaded Weld Groups The second module in CISC's Design Modules lineup, "Eccentrically Loaded Weld Groups" is now available. The first module on "Eccentrically Loaded Bolt Groups" was the subject of a previous blog post: https://www.cisc-icca.ca/cisc-steel-design-modules-module-1-eccentrically-loaded-bolt-groups/ Design Module No. 2 covers traditional methods for determining the resistance of fillet weld groups in connections of various configurations [...]

Part 5 of the Steel Design Series (SDS-5) provides tables of properties and dimensions for the first series of Welded Wide-Flange (WWF) sections produced to metric dimensions, reprinted from the Handbook of Steel Construction, 2nd Edition, 1976. The tables are provided in both metric and imperial units, and they are intended mainly for designers involved in [...]

CISC is introducing the first module in a new lineup of upcoming Steel Design Modules. Module 1, "Eccentrically Loaded Bolt Groups", covers traditional methods for determining the resistance of bolt groups in connections of various configurations and subject to an eccentric point load applied either in-plane or out-of-plane. Bolt groups subject to an inclined point load [...]

The tables of Properties and Dimensions in Part 6 of the Handbook provide values of the depth (d), width (b) and wall thickness (t) of square and rectangular hollow structural sections (HSS). Values of the exterior and interior corner radii are not tabulated, however, mainly because these dimensions are not listed in CSA standard G40.20. Section [...]
