About this Gig
Are you looking for a STRUCTURAL STEEL EXPERT to design and verify complex connections using IDEA STATICA? Look no further!
I specialize in advanced non-linear Finite Element Analysis (CBFEM) for STEEL CONNECTIONS, COLD-FORMED STEEL (CFS), AND TIMBER-TO-STEEL JOINTS complying strictly with AISC 360/358, EUROCODE 3, AND CISC CODES.
SERVICES OFFERED IN THIS GIG:
- BEAM & COLUMN CONNECTIONS: Shear tabs, extended end-plates, moment connections, splices, and welded joints.
- BASE PLATE DESIGN: Column base plates with anchor bolts, shear lugs, stiffeners, and concrete block verification.
- BRACING & GUSSET PLATES: Complex multi-member truss joints, gusset plates, and heavy bracing framing.
- COLD-FORMED STEEL & TIMBER JOINTS: Thin-walled CFS connections and hybrid timber-to-steel structural anchorages.
- ADVANCED ANALYSIS: STRESS/STRAIN ANALYSIS, BUCKLING CAPACITY, AND STIFFNESS CLASSIFICATION (Rigid, Semi-Rigid, Pinned).
- FABRICATION CONSULTING: Optimization of weld sizes and bolt counts to lower workshop fabrication costs.
WHY CHOOSE MY CONNECTION DESIGN SERVICES?
- 100% CODE-COMPLIANT & OPTIMIZED DESIGNS
- Full Finite Element Modeling (CBFEM) in IDEA STATICA
- Clear, easy-to-read calculation reports

FAQ
What design codes do you support for connection calculations?
I perform connection verification according to AISC 360 / AISC 358 (LRFD/ASD), Eurocode 3, CISC / CSA S16, and Australian standards upon request.
What software output files will I receive?
You will receive a detailed PDF calculation report containing 3D stress/strain distributions, bolt/weld utilization checks, buckling analysis, and (depending on the package) the editable IDEA StatiCa (.ideaCon) source file.
Can you evaluate stiffness (Rigid, Semi-Rigid, Pinned) for frame analysis?
Yes! I perform rotational stiffness analysis in IDEA StatiCa to classify connections as rigid, semi-rigid, or pinned, providing rotational stiffness values ($S_j$) to feed back into your ETABS/SAP2000 global model.
Do you design seismic connections?
Yes, I design moment-resisting seismic connections (e.g., Bolted Unstiffened/Stiffened Extended End-Plate connections) following AISC 358 prequalified connection rules.
