Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study of steel connections implemented in Tekla Structures software, employing both the US and IS (Indian Standards) codes. The investigation focuses on analyzing the differences in design criteria, detailing requirements, and fabrication practices between the two codes. Specifically, the study explores variations in bolt sizing, beam and column dimensions, as well as detailing specifications for bolted connections. Through detailed examination and comparison, significant disparities are identified, highlighting the importance of adhering to specific standards to ensure structural integrity and compatibility in construction projects. Additionally, the study addresses the implications of these differences on material estimation, cost evaluation, and overall project outcomes. By providing insights into the utilization of US and IS codes within Tekla Structures, this research contributes to enhancing the understanding and implementation of international standards in structural engineering practices.
