First of all, we must know some knowledge of material mechanics, whether the strength and stiffness of the structure designed to meet the requirements. Generally speaking, according to personal experience, it can be done without calculating, and the key force points need to be calculated.

Be familiar with common standard steel, angle steel, channel steel, steel plate and standard parts of different specifications. Look at the standard parts in the machine design manual.

More welding is used in steel structure, and we should be familiar with the common welding technology. We should not only read books but also understand accumulation in practice.

To understand the processing technology of steel structure processing, how to make a product is convenient and meets the requirements. This can be seen in the workshop, the general factory should have process cards, look at these process cards will also have a great help group.

Accumulation of general design options for different structures. Look at the previous products, how some of the common institutions do, keep in mind that there were failures or incomplete structure in the past where the wrong, after the attention to avoid. Wait. The structure should not be summarized and accumulated.
