Just what is it that you want to learn? How to detail steel connections?

Check this link for dimensional data http://www.engineersedge.com/structural_shapes_menu.shtml

 

Don't know where you might find a structural steel tutorial. Sounds like a good idea though!

REMARK, well i wanna learn how to detail the structural steel parts,i know all about the materials(angles,beams,tubes,etc.)what i wanna learn is how to detail like connection plates.basically like the detail on a print,like for example @ my work they give a print and i start fabricating the part(beams or structural shapes),but this whole part has loose parts(detail) and that's what i want to learn how to draft the detail.Connection plates with holes.can you help me.

Thanks Tankman for the link, I know about dimensional data in my head.

Thanks for your help anyways.

dannysteel, exactly how I got started drawing and then AutoCAD!

 

If you know the dimensions, plates, weldments, shapes, you can draw as built.

 

Start drawing!

The Manual of Steel Construction - Volume II Connections might be of some help. Some topics covered are bolted connections, simple shear connections and moment connections.

Do you mean the actual Autocad Structural Detailing? I found this with a google search. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=12300313

I have that program but I've just been using Vanilla Acad. I'm looking into the features of it now, but I have a feeling that it's not going to give the company the flexibility desired.
