Load Path of Steel-Framed Buildings

Register
To maintain stability, structures require a complete load path that enables an adequate and safe transfer of loads from their point of application through the load-resisting elements to the foundation. This webinar will introduce load path concepts in steel buildings, drawing upon examples from historical, real-world structures. The role of computer modeling in determining load paths is then presented along with a discussion of common load path issues encountered in building design. Finally, the importance of load path communication through various design stages is reiterated and supplemented with relevant project documentation examples. 
This is a live, encore presentation from the recent Night School course, Steel Design After College.
