Introduction:

This comprehensive 3-day training program equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and renovate industrial buildings using steel as the primary construction material. Through interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the entire process, from initial concept to final construction.

Objectives:

• Understand the key considerations for industrial building design and renovation.

• Master the selection and application of various steel building systems and components.

• Apply relevant building codes and standards to the design process.

• Perform basic load calculations and analysis for steel structures.

• Develop effective renovation strategies for existing industrial buildings.

Day 1 : Foundations and Fundamentals

• Types and uses of industrial buildings

• Design considerations for functionality, safety, and sustainability

• Building codes and regulations (e.g., IBC, ASCE)

• Properties and advantages of steel in industrial buildings

• Different types of steel structures (e.g., pre-engineered, custom-designed)

• Steel connections and fabrication methods

Day 2: Design & Detailing

• Exploring different types of steel framing systems (e.g., rigid frames, trusses, columns, beams)

• Selecting appropriate systems based on building requirements and spans

• Choosing suitable roofing Designing efficient and cost-effective steel structures

• Understanding thermal performance and insulation requirements

• Integrating the building envelope with the steel structure

Day 3: Renovation and Project Management

• Inspection techniques for evaluating structural integrity and building condition

• Identifying potential problems and renovation needs

• Developing a renovation strategy and feasibility study

• Strengthening and repair of existing steel structures

• Adding new features and components to existing buildings

• Maintaining structural integrity and safety during renovation

Conclusion:

By the end of this 3-day training, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to confidently design and manage the construction or renovation of industrial buildings using steel. They will gain the ability to select appropriate steel systems, perform basic structural analysis, and collaborate effectively with other professionals involved in the project.
