The Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) is a research organization focused on bolted structural connections. Their technical standard on this subject is cited in the US steel design code. [1] Prior to 1980, the organization was known as the Research Council on Riveted and Bolted Structural Joints (RCRBSJ).
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". [4]
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is a not-for-profit technical institute and trade association for the use of structural steel in the construction industry of the United States. AISC publishes the Steel Construction Manual, an authoritative volume on steel building structure design that is referenced in all U.S. building codes.
Shear (and tension) loads can be transferred between two structural elements by either a bearing-type connection or a slip-critical connection. In a slip-critical connection, loads are transferred from one element to another through friction forces developed between the faying surfaces of the connection. These friction forces are generated by ...
The design and use of steel frames are commonly employed in the design of steel structures. More advanced structures include steel plates and shells . In structural engineering, a structure is a body or combination of pieces of the rigid bodies in space that form a fitness system for supporting loads and resisting moments .
Good lighting is important in a staircase so users see where they are going and to prevent falls. [6] There is often a window on the wall to let in daylight.In many cases, indoor stairs are placed far inside the building structure, and it is often not easy to get access to a wall on the outside where it would be natural to have a regular window for letting daylight in.

Creating this connection involved battles with believers in the purity of Mies's designs who wished the Commons to continue to stand alone. A major design challenge was the noise of the Green Line tracks passing over the lot. The solution was to enclose a 530-foot (160 m) section of the tracks in a stainless steel tube passing over the building.
