Overview
The Basic Steel Structural Design Training course provides an overview of different steel frames and their design requirements. It covers the behavior and design of beams, compression and tension members, and steel connections. Aimed at engineers and scientists working with onshore and offshore structures, the course includes lectures on Eurocodes, failure modes, and design checks for bolts and welds. Led by Dr. Boulent Imam, a Senior Lecturer with expertise in steel structures, the course lasts one day and is offered at various locations in the UK.
Who should attend
Engineers, Scientists
Course Content
ABOUT THE COURSE
The course will overview different types of steel frames and their design requirements. Various lectures will include the behaviour and design of beams, behaviour and design of compression and tension members. The last lecture will be on analysis and design of steel connections which will involve types of connections, bolting vs welding, analysis of simple connections and design checks for bolts and welts.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers and scientists involved in the design, operation and assessment of both onshore and offshore structures.
