Three articles focus on practical topics in steel construction:

"What Engineers Should Know About Bending Steel" discusses who bends steel, methods of bending and how to specify bent steel on construction drawings.
"24 Tips for Simplifying Braced Frame Connections" presents tips on recommended size of members, specifying connection forces, use of welds and more.
"High-Strength Bolting Made Easy" answers commonly asked equations on high-strength bolted joint design and construction including joint surfaces and bolt pretensioning.

This course is based on articles from Modern Steel Construction.
