The CBFEM (component-based finite element model) is a new method to analyze and design connections of steel structures. The design focused CM (component model) is compared to FEM (finite elements models). The publication introduces Benchmark Cases for Validation and Verification procedures of structural steel joints. The hierarchy of the System response quantity is prepared for welded and bolted connections as well as for column bases. Each Benchmark Case starts with the task description and includes results of prediction by the analytical model according to EN 1993-1-5, references to experiments, validated model and numerical experiments, results of prediction by design Finite Element Analyses described in terms of global behavior and verification of resistance. At the end of the publication, the reader may check his calculation on Benchmark cases prepared for the particular joint. Finite Element Analyses is a current step in design of steel connections, which allows to predict the generally loaded joints with a complex geometry with the same efficiency and accuracy as the traditionally designed connections based on the best engineering practice. Implementation of the FEA models for the structural steel detailing creates the qualitative step as we may see in other areas of engineering.

Schedules—which display information extracted from the properties of different project elements—are the backbone of BIM. In this course, explore how to work with schedules in Revit. Focusing primarily on the "I" for information in BIM, instructor Eric Wing demonstrates how to drill into the Revit database and query data out of your models. Eric covers a few standard schedules such as door, window, and room schedules, and then dives into the specifics of Revit parameters, and how they relate to the underlying database that you have—perhaps, unknowingly—developed by virtue of modeling your project. He goes into creating blank schedules, material takeoffs, keynote legends, schedule keys, and more. Topics include: General schedules; Adding and scheduling project parameters; Imbedded schedules; Configuring schedules; Creating a blank schedule; Material takeoffs; Exporting schedules; Documentation schedules.

Metal shell structures have a very wide range of civil engineering applications, from towers, masts, wind turbine towers and chimneys to large storage vessels such as silos, tanks and biodigesters, as well as in pile foundations and harbour wall structures.  A shell structure delivers great strength for a limited amount of material, and is highly optimised for each specific application.  But this efficiency and optimisation brings with it both a susceptibility to buckling failures and the most complex behaviour of any class of structure.  This book provides the designer with a comprehensive guide to the structural design of large metal shells, using either algebraic treatments or computer calculations of various complexities.  It is closely based on the world’s leading standard on shell structural design, Eurocode 3 Part 1.6 (EN 1993-1-6), which includes extensive generic rules for all metal shells.  This book provides an essential background and explanation of the rules, and extends them significantly.  Using this book, the designer can confidently design large metal shells for a wide range of civil engineering applications.
