This webinar will introduce the results of a series of verification studies completed at the University of Tennessee. These verifications compared results from IDEA StatiCa to traditional calculations used in practice in the US. You will learn more about the process as well as discuss the results.

Webinar content

The traditional calculations were based on the provisions of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings and guidance from the AISC Steel Construction Manual and design guides. 

A variety of connection types were examined, including single plate shear connections, extended end-plate moment connections, base plate connections, bolted wide flange splice connections, beam-over-column connections, bracket plate connections, and T-stub connections.

For these common structural steel connection types with established design procedures, the available strength obtained from IDEA StatiCa correlates well with traditional calculations per the AISC Specification with differences primarily on the conservative side.
