Balance of forces
◦ To keep loads on the joint balanced — is it actually important? Why?
◦ Common mistakes engineers make when loading joints and how to prevent them.
◦ Load combinations and the related pitfalls.
Bolt component model in IDEA StatiCa
What are bolts in IDEA StatiCa?
How are they modeled and how do they function?
Which problems can be solved with these bolts and which can not?
Torsion [Part 3]
Why does channel section always twisting?
What is bimoment and how to calculate it?
Is it possible to calculate a beam for torsion in general software?
How to define boundary conditions for a beam subjected to warping torsion?
Torsion [Part 2]
Will a pair of stiffeners help your I-beam with torsion or not?
What is a closed section and why is it SO effective for torsion resistance?
See the difference between open and closed sections—prepare to be surprised!
How can we minimize the torsion deformation of an open section? Is it even possible?
Torsion [Part 1]
What is torsion? How to calculate torque?

Stress distribution in welds
Once again about how to read the results of weld-check.
One more time about utilisation factor 98% for welds.
Situations where it is not critical and where it is.
And how to use IDEA StatiCa to examine all these effects, of course.
