Applied Bolting Technology
Applied Bolting Technology produces DuraSquirt DTIs (Direct Tension Indicators) that supply a bright orange indication when bolts have been tensioned, making tight bolts easy to see. DTIs are load cells that ensure compliance with bolting standards and specs. Torque, Turn-of-Nut and TCs can all produce false-positive tension, and regularly do: Torque scatter is ±40% for new bolts, and worse for weathered. Relying on torque is optimism, at best. TCs are torque bolts that are adversely affected by cold or wet weather. Turn-of-Nut can be defeated by misrepresenting turn angle, regardless of turn applied. DTIs read load. If a bolt is tight, a DTI will show it, independent of weather, torque, angle, tool or skill.

American Institute of Steel Construction
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) just released the latest version of its flagship standard, the “Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-22),” the foundation of the 16th edition Steel Construction Manual, which AISC expects to publish later in 2023.
The updated Specification contains notable member and connection design updates, including new requirements for torsional buckling of members with lateral bracing offset from the shear center.
It also contains significantly expanded sections on composite design and design for fire conditions as well as a new appendix on high-strength filled composite members, all of which introduce provisions for the design of concrete-filled composite steel plate shear walls, also known as SpeedCore.

Atlas Tube
Atlas Tube in Blytheville, Ark., is the world’s largest continuous ERW tube mill. The state-of-the-art facility is capable of producing hollow structural sections (HSS) in square, rectangular and round shapes and in sizes ranging from 8” square x 0.750” wall to 22” square x 1” wall.
While Atlas Tube has supplied Jumbo HSS (up to 22” square x 0.875” wall) since 2012, the new mill allows the full range of these products to be made in the United States for the first time and with a larger maximum wall thickness than previously available. The largest rectangular section produced here will be 30” x 14” x 1” wall, and the largest round section will be 28” OD x 1” wall.
Contact Atlas Tube to speak with our structural engineer and learn more about our epic capabilities.

For more than 50 years, bridge owners have relied on UWS to deliver excellent performance in diverse environments, and its benefits go way beyond aesthetics. UWS has inherent corrosion protection and doesn’t require any coating applications, so the steel is ready for erection much faster than coated members. This shaves time off the construction schedule.
No coating applications means there’s no paint to touch up or reapply–and less maintenance means less expense and fewer traffic disruptions.

Steel Deck Institute
Since its founding in 1939, the Steel Deck Institute (SDI) has provided uniform industry standards for the engineering, design, manufacture, and field usage of steel floor and roof decks. Members of the SDI are manufacturers of steel roof and floor decks. The products they manufacture are primarily used to support overlying roofing materials or serve as a permanent form and/or positive reinforcement for concrete floor slabs.
There are many advantages to using steel deck in roof and floor construction. These include physical properties such as structural strength, all-weather constructability and fire resistance. Uniform quality, proven durability and economic value have also long been known to be attributes of steel roof and floor deck. More recently, building designers have recognized the advantages of steel deck for its appearance, acoustical properties and sustainability. The mission of the SDI is to promote these advantages and provide guidance in the proper usage of steel roof and floor deck.

In addition, SJI provides resources, including publications, live and recorded webinars, and design tools to assist structural engineers or other AEC professionals with utilization of steel joists and Joist Girders. The Roof and Floor Bay Analysis Tools provide efficient and economical joist and Joist Girder options—including cost data—for most projects. Additionally, they include a vibration check (floor) and a ponding analysis (roof). We also offer tools such as the Joist and Joist Girder Reinforcement Tool, and we assist in identifying existing joists in buildings undergoing retrofit. SJI products are included in RISA, RAM, SCIA, Dlubal and SkyCiv software packages.
