Good detailing is vital because it affects structural performance, costs, buildability and, perhaps most importantly, appearance. While the choice of the structural form is often the province of the structural engineer, architects should have a broad appreciation of the factors leading to the selection of the structure and its details. Traditionally, most detailing of connections is the responsibility of the steelwork fabricator, but for exposed steelwork, detailing is of much more interest to the architect, as it impacts on the aesthetics of the structure. In this respect it is important that designers appreciate the common fabrication and erection techniques, which may exert a strong influence on the method and approach to the detailing of modern steelwork in buildings. |
