Introduction:
Steel is the most used construction material for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete the world because of its many favourable characteristics including high strength, high stiffness, ductility and toughness, speed of erection, competitive cost, etc. The speed of construction and its use for building temporary structures make it more competitive over concrete.
The design of steel structures that has been widely based on the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), AISC, BS, and EC3 will be discussed. This Structural Steel Design training course will be presented to enable the trainees to design most elements of steel structures in addition to connections.
Objectives:
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Be familiar with the “Steel Structure” design
- Understand the loads applied on the steel structure in oil, gas, and petrochemical plant
- Know the modern technology on the risk-based inspection for a maintenance plan
- Be familiar with the pipe rack design
- Know the design of the steel structure on machines
- Identify the use of composite sections in strength and repair
