Why Steel
Design Considerations
Design Smarter With Steel
Structural steel's precise fabrication and erection methods, streamlined design methodologies, and time-tested robustness have proven that even when faced with challenging structural issues there is always a solution in steel. Below are common design considerations that can be addressed efficiently.
- Thermal Performance
- Serviceability
- Blast and Progressive Collapse
- Acoustics
- Vibration
- Fabricator and Erector Certification
- Facade Attachments
- Seismic Design
Technical reference information on a broader range of challenges and design considerations is available on the AISC website at www.aisc.org.
