Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT a3f420c9-fd7a-4038-b888-b3e7f1e0cbe3 https://www.ideastatica.com/blog/how-to-choose-software-for-steel-connection-design Steel connections are typically simple. The problem is the ones that are not. Choosing the right software for steel connection design has a direct impact on time, effort, and ultimately cost.

They are commonly used in areas requiring enhanced structural strength and are crucial for preventing structural failure. Deep beams help in minimizing deflections and ensuring uniform stress distribution by resisting bending moments.  Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:00:00 GMT 44c2b1a0-8f0f-42b7-b265-9ef4b89a24bf https://www.ideastatica.com/blog/cticm-report-understanding-the-differences-in-connection-results The CTICM (Centre Technique Industriel de la Construction Métallique) carried out an independent evaluation comparing the CBFEM approach in IDEA StatiCa with the Component Method defined in Eurocode 3. Explore how the models in IDEA StatiCa were created and why differences between CBFEM and the Component Method occur.

We used case studies to highlight solutions for common HSS connection challenges.

Their design directly affects force distribution, stability, and weld demand. This webinar examines the structural behavior of haunched connections in practice.

However, one application that is frequently overlooked is its ability to assist in the design and verification of temporary structures. Thu, 12 Mar 2026 01:00:00 GMT 2836163e-1578-4278-a304-9518175c6b1b https://www.ideastatica.com/webinars/design-of-connections-for-temporary-structures The design of temporary structures is often underestimated due to their short service life, yet they demand the same attention as permanent structure especially at the connections. If not properly verified, connection failures can trigger instability, collapse, and serious risk during construction.

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:00:00 GMT 6f08ceef-96bf-42ab-aaba-fdfa297dbb2b https://www.ideastatica.com/webinars/frame-corners-a-common-d-region-problem Frame corners are typical discontinuity regions in the design of RC structures. The aim of this webinar is to show how frame corners and similar D-regions—traditionally designed using strut-and-tie models—can be analyzed using the Detail application and the CSFM (Compatible Stress Field Method).

However, this can be risky, especially in complex wall designs where standard assumptions may not hold. This article explains how IDEA StatiCa helps you reveal hidden structural risks and ensure safer, more reliable designs.
