Castings in tubular structures – the state of the art

During the past three decades, steel casting technologies and processes have developed significantly, making way for the production of high-quality castings that are capable of meeting the rigorous demands of structural applications. As a result, the use of steel castings in construction is becoming increasingly more accepted and commonplace. This article presents the state-of-the-art uses of steel castings in onshore construction and summarises recent publications to give an overview of the current status of research and use of cast steel in tubular structures in North America, Europe and Asia.
