IRONCAD was originally developed by Visionary Design Systems (VDS) based in Santa Clara, CA. The product launched in 1998. [1] [2] In 2001 the development team led by Dr. Tao-Yan Han split from VDS (now known as Alventive) to form IronCAD LLC to continue the development of the IRONCAD product.
Tekla Structures was used extensively for the steel design of Capital Gate at Abu Dhabi, UAE. [4] Files exported from Tekla facilitated faster steel fabrication. [ 4 ] One of the architects, Jeff Schofield, stated that "it was the right time in history and we had the right technology to make this happen".
On April 3 2017, RIB Software AG completed its conversion into a European Company (Societas Europaea/SE) and from then on traded under the name RIB Software SE. 2018–2019: Launch of MTWO On April 20, at the Signing Ceremony of MTWO in Hong Kong, China, RIB, and Microsoft jointly announced that they would work together on a Proof of Concept of ...
The theoretical basis of the box girder was largely the work of the engineer Sir William Fairbairn, with the aid of the mathematician Eaton Hodgkinson, around 1830.They sought to design for the most efficient beam possible in the new material of riveted wrought iron plates.
The Forth Bridge was one of the first major uses of steel, and a landmark in bridge design. Also in 1889, the wrought-iron Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel and Maurice Koechlin, demonstrating the potential of construction using iron, despite the fact that steel construction was already being used elsewhere.
Wrought iron is a form of commercial iron containing less than 0.10% of carbon, less than 0.25% of impurities total of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and manganese, and less than 2% slag by weight. [18] [19] Wrought iron is redshort or hot short if it contains sulfur in excess quantity. It has sufficient tenacity when cold, but cracks when bent or ...
The company was originally a blacksmith shop, but later, it became a manufacturer of wrought and cast iron. [3] [4] During World War II, Flour City produced aluminum bridge pontoons and aircraft parts. In 1945, Henry J. Neils, first president of the Flour City Ornamental Iron Works Company, began production of aluminum boats.
Steel is an alloy composed of between 0.2 and 2.0 percent carbon, with the balance being iron. From prehistory through the creation of the blast furnace, iron was produced from iron ore as wrought iron, 99.82–100 percent Fe, and the process of making steel involved adding carbon to iron, usually in a serendipitous manner, in the forge, or via the cementation process.
