Abstract:

Because structural engineers are leaving design of structural steel connections to fabricators, the problem of responsibility for those details has arisen. This article explores a variety of opinions about whether the responsibility for structural steel details lies with the structural engineer or the fabricator or both. And, if both, to what degree is each party accountable.
