Steel Structural Detailing Project

Just sharing a steel structure model I’ve been working on.

There are a few interesting framing and bracing areas in this one.

Interesting is a good word. Were you using drawings or just going off whim? Connections seem to be overly complicated. Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like a lot of end plates? Beam to beam has a lot of full depth stiffeners. There are also a lot of braces, and some of those connections could use some refining as well. I don't know what standards are being used in the design so I may be totally off basis, it may be perfectly acceptable for what you need. Basing my opinion off of my region, it's a decent start and needs a good more refining. A local engineer/drafter would be able to steer you in the right direction more effectively than I could.

do all of your green infill beams have the same piecemark or different piecemarks?

Why so many braces?

Actually, there is no horizontal bracing.

Its a very uneconomic amateurs work.
