Overview
The Online Design of Steel Structures to EC3 Training Course provides an overview of design requirements for steel structures using Eurocodes (EC0 and EC3). It covers design checks for steel members and connections, structural analysis, and stability requirements. The course is designed for practicing engineers involved in the design, operation, and assessment of onshore and offshore steel structures. The program includes lectures on steel building design principles, beam and member design, and connections analysis. The course is led by Dr. Boulent Imam, an expert in steel structures and Eurocodes.
Who should attend
Practicing Engineers
ABOUT THE COURSE
The course will provide an overview of the design requirements for steel structures using Eurocodes (EC0 and EC3), including design checks to be carried out on different types of steel members and connections as well as recommendations for their structural analysis as well as stability requirements.
Day One of the course will start with an introduction on the basis of structural design used in Eurocodes and introduce main principles related to the analysis and stability checks of steel structures. This will be followed by discussing design principles associated with steel beams, tension & compression members and members under the simultaneous action of axial forces and bending moments. Design examples showcasing the application of the Eurocode design rules will be presented.
Day Two of the course will provide an overview of the analysis and design of bolted and welded steel connections under different loading situations. The main design checks that need to be carried out according to Eurocode 3 on steel connections will be outlined and demonstrated through design examples.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Practicing engineers involved in the design, operation and assessment of both onshore and offshore steel structures.
