BEAM COLUMN USE CASE
Challenge
A structural engineering firm is tasked with designing moment connections for steel beams to columns in a new commercial building. The project requires robust connections that can efficiently transmit shear, moment, and axial force while adhering to industry standards and project specifications.
Solution
Using Prokon Beam Column software, engineers input project requirements, including beam and column dimensions, loading conditions, and connection details. They utilise the software’s customisation options to design various combinations of welded and bolted connections, optimising for structural efficiency. Engineers leverage Prokon Beam Column’s optimisation capabilities to refine connection layouts, ensuring maximum load-bearing capacity and stability. They utilise the software’s 3D graphic visualisation feature to visualise connection designs, facilitating informed decision-making and design clarity.
