High Steel Structures — VR/360° Fabrication Tour
Walk a modern fabrication shop and see how a detailed member becomes a shipped piece.
Play any video right here. Every clip is mapped to the chapter it supports — fabrication, welding, erection, buckling, connections, concrete flexure, shear, prestressing and lab testing.
Walk a modern fabrication shop and see how a detailed member becomes a shipped piece.
Electrode selection, machine settings, and bead quality — the vocabulary behind AWS D1.1.
Erection sequence from foundations to deck — watch the load path close.
How detailing decisions govern erection sequence, crane picks, and field safety.
Placement, bleed water, floating and troweling — why finishing timing drives surface durability.
Where the prestress force comes from and how the two systems differ in practice.
A physical column buckling test set against the Euler critical load.
Yield, strain hardening, necking and rupture on a real coupon test.
Why an unbraced compression flange twists out of plane, and what Lb and Cb really control.
Bolt shear, bearing and tearout limit states side by side.
The tear-out block, which planes yield, which rupture, and how Ubs enters.
From the real parabolic stress distribution to Whitney's rectangle.
Bond stress, splitting, and what governs ld.
A full stirrup design worked against ACI 318-19 Chapter 22.
The AISC H1 interaction equations and where the two branches come from.
Horizontal shear transfer, stud capacity, and the composite section.
Where 1.2D + 1.6L comes from and how to pick the controlling combination.
Reading the P–M envelope and locating the balanced point.
