Structural Presentation for Non-Structural Audience

Structural Presentation for Non-Structural Audience

Structural Presentation for Non-Structural Audience

(OP)
Will anyone be able to share previous powerpoint presentations you have given on steel structures, or links to where to find some? Specifically what I am looking for is practical ways to talk about member and connection (bolt and weld) design without getting into too much technical detail. So if anyone has anything to share it would be appreciated. Target audience is those familiar with structural steel and bolted/welded connections, but not really the engineering that goes into it. So graphics and pictures would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Structural Presentation for Non-Structural Audience

AISC's steel detailing manual has a section where they basically explain rudimentary engineering principles relevant to steel design. At the least, it's geared towards the right audience. They also have something called the "steel connections tool kit", that might fit the bill.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

RE: Structural Presentation for Non-Structural Audience

i think you could do a "show and tell" about the development of joining, with pix and video. eg hot riveting ... why don't we do it today ? (at least not as much as we used to) it was a good idea for it's time, a big improvement on what was there before, and now mostly superceded by welding and bolting (or whatever ... i don't build "targets") ... why ? then maybe something about different types of joints.

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
