Steel Structure Technical Resource Center

Templates and case studies are provided for engineering reference. Site-specific conditions — soil, wind exposure, local code amendments — always require a reviewed design before fabrication. Our engineers will confirm the applicable version of any standard at the time of your request.

When a reference document has a revision, the engineering team confirms the applicable version before sending it. If a standard is superseded between your request and delivery, we flag the change rather than silently forward an outdated file. Confidential drawings can be shared under a simple NDA template where appropriate, and project-specific documents can be prepared under confidentiality arrangements where the buyer requires it. For metric or regional variants — Chinese-language versions, imperial-unit alternatives, or a bilingual cover sheet for customs — mention the preference in your request. Large packages are delivered through a transfer link instead of email when attachment size is limited.

Instant Downloads — Design & Procurement Guides

Three practical guides written by our structural and project engineering teams. Download them directly — no request code needed. Each guide is a self-contained decision tool with tables, load envelopes and checklists you can take straight into your next design review.

Guides are provided for engineering reference and are updated as standards evolve. For a project-specific application — your span, your wind zone, your procurement schedule — request a free engineering walkthrough with the code of the guide you downloaded.

What Each Collection Contains

Product Specifications (RC-01, RC-02, RC-03). The H-section portal frame general arrangement shows grid layouts, column and rafter sections, bracing schemes and connection callouts at the detail level a fabricator works from — not a marketing render. The bolted-sphere grid node library covers hub, sleeve, bolt and conical head details for the node types we use on 30–120 m spans, with the tolerance notes that keep field fit-up smooth. The material grade sheet lists yield, tensile, elongation and impact values for Q235, Q355, Q420 and Q460, with the international equivalents so your engineer can approve substitutions without a translation exercise.

Design Guides (RC-06, RC-07). The wind and snow load guide walks a worked example per span class: basic wind pressure, exposure coefficient, internal pressure and the resulting uplift on roof sections, with the code clauses cited so the calculation can be audited line by line. The connection design handbook shows moment, splice and bracing details with bolt and weld design checks — the kind of reference a fabricator's detailer or the client's engineer reaches for when reviewing shop drawings.

Qualification and capability references. Public qualification pages describe the manufacturer’s licenses, plant capacity, inspection process and project experience. For specific tender attachments, ask what records can be supplied for the actual scope; unsupported certificate claims are not published.

Case Studies (RC-09, RC-10, RC-11). Each study covers the full engineering loop rather than a highlight reel: structural system selection and why it was chosen for the span and load, erection sequence with the jacking or sliding method used, the NDT scope applied, and the inspection records that closed out the project. The 229 m coal shed study details the beam-string prestressing procedure; the Antarctic study documents low-temperature material and welding control; the 748 m bridge study covers the erection sequencing that made the record span feasible.
