Eiffel Tower Location: Paris, France Engineer: Gustave Eiffel Why it's interesting: The Eiffel Tower is probably the most famous truss structure in the World. Constructed between 1887 and 1889, consists of a 324 m high pylon ending up on 4 oblique pylon close to the ground surface. The lateral stiffness… read more →
How often do we pay attention to the geometric shape of steel sections used in construction, and realize the importance of the shape? All the steel design and construction codes worldwide identify a few common shapes to be used as a steel member. These sections are noted by their cross-section… read more →
Introduction Structural engineers use a great variety of members already from the conceptual phase of a building or infrastructure project. Accurate modelling of such members using finite element software, such as SkyCiv, is of great importance in the design process, as accurate modelling of the members can both reduce cost… read more →
