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.

How to manage torque in IDEA StatiCa?
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.
Position of hinge
A comprehensive guide of how to use the "Forces in:" option in IDEA StatiCa.
How to find position of the null-moment, where is the hinge of the connection exactly and why the beam lifts up.
I’ve tried to cover all the questions related to this topic with illustrations and examples.
