Three-dimensional intermeshing of steel enabled by advanced digital manufacturing holds the potential to radically change how steel bridges and buildings are connected. This paper presents the concept of the first universal structural steel connection in over 100 years. The proposed Intermeshed Steel Connection (ISC) exploits recent advances in steel cutting technologies and robotics to shape member ends precisely. This vastly reduces on-site bolting and welding. Forces are transferred through common bearing surfaces at multiple contact points. The new connection is designed to accelerate structural steel deployment and offer better disassembly options. This paper introduces the geometry, manufacturing, and initial analysis of the connection approach, which holds the potential to be robust, secure, scalable, and faster to erect. |
