When the Connection Doesn’t Match the Structure: Retrofit & Modification Workflows by IDEA StatiCa – Free STRUCTURE Sponsored Webinar

During construction, coordination between multiple stakeholders often forces changes to original structural details — and connections, whether steel-to-steel or steel-to-concrete, are among the most frequently affected. These last-minute changes create RFIs that can stall a project if not resolved quickly.

IDEA StatiCa lets you assess and redesign affected connections fast, so RFIs get answered and your schedule stays intact.

Join this webinar to see how to handle real-world scenarios like a load increase on a steel beam-to-concrete column connection, base plate repairs from anchor misalignment, and other common retrofit situations. You’ll leave with a practical workflow for turning a construction-phase connection problem into a fast, defensible design revision.
