Advanced in Steel Work Design and Inspection Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
This short course is intended to overview modern procedures for the design and erection of structural steel buildings. The course may be attended by civil engineers involved in design, fabrication, and supervision. Each participant may draw on the elements of the course that most complement his area of interest and practice. For those engineers with limited practical experience, the course will provide ample illustration of real design and construction issues that may assist the designer to conceive of a structural steel system that is safe, economical and constructible. For the veterans, the advent of LRFD and plastic design, as well as computer-assisted design, shall be the elements of the course that they may be looking to benefit from the most. The wide range of issues to be discussed, revolve around the use of structural steel in buildings. The examples to be used would vary from the typical one-story warehouse to the multistory frame to special systems such as space frames. Throughout the course, the instructor shall start from the basics to allow ensuring the full participation and comprehension of all attendants, bearing in mind variations in the background from education to practice.
Who Should Attend?
Any civil engineer with an interest in learning about steel design may attend the course and benefit from it. As backgrounds may vary the instructor shall start from the basics and work his way towards more details and to practical applications. It is foreseen that individuals from the following backgrounds may attend:
- Design structural engineers
- Supervision engineer
- Planners
- Steel fabricator
- Construction engineers
