Technical guides for structural consultants, engineering firms and steel fabricators working to international codes: reinforcement detailing and bar bending schedules, ASCE 7 wind and seismic loading, the second generation Eurocode transition, seismic analysis methods, analysis software selection, and the Dubai Building Code structural basis for UAE projects. Written by our engineering team, with the code clauses referenced rather than paraphrased.
Shape codes, cutting length formulas, bend deductions, lap lengths, and worked BBS examples by element.
Read the guide →Which edition applies, the new tornado chapter, C and C changes, load combinations, and the UAE position.
Read the guide →The full EN list, what the second generation changes, the timeline to 2028, and which generation your project uses.
Read the guide →ELF, response spectrum and time history compared, plus mass participation, SRSS vs CQC and base shear scaling.
Read the guide →Modelling philosophy, buildings vs general structures, seismic workflow, design output and model handover.
Read the guide →The code basis for Dubai structural submissions, the four-authority unification, and how Abu Dhabi differs.
Read the guide →Engineering support: RCC and steel structure design, STAAD.Pro and ETABS analysis, seismic and lateral checks, foundation design, welded and bolted connection design, rebar detailing and bar bending schedules, Tekla steel detailing and shop drawings, structural assessment and retrofit design.
Production and back-office support: structural drafting and BIM modelling in AutoCAD, Revit and Tekla, drawing register and revision control, BOQ and material take-off, and tender and bid support.
A dedicated team that becomes an extension of yours, so your senior engineers stay on client engineering, design review and approvals instead of model entry and detailing.
