Eurocode 3 in Detail
- Intended for Structural Engineers with knowledge of steelwork design and Eurocodes. Aims to introduce Eurocode 3 principles for building structures. Delegates will learn to design elements using Eurocode 3. Course covers flexure, buckling, shear, axial loading, deflection, fatigue, tension, and more. Introduction to Eurocode 3, steelwork specification, frame stability, and connections design.
Overview
The Online Eurocode 3 Steel Training course is designed for Structural Engineers to introduce and apply Eurocode 3 principles in building structures. Delegates will gain knowledge and practical skills in designing elements for flexure, buckling, shear, axial loading, deflection, fatigue, tension, and more. The course covers Eurocode 3 introduction, steelwork specification, frame stability, ultimate and serviceability limit states, crane design, connections, and review of design aids.
Who should attend
Structural Engineers
Course Content
This course is intended for Structural Engineers. Some knowledge of steelwork design and Eurocodes 0 and 1 would be useful but not essential. A calculator and pencil are essential, but other required materials will be provided.
Introduction:
Eurocode 3 is the current design standard for structural steelwork. This course will introduce the code and explain how to apply it for simple elements in building structures. Practical tutorials allow delegates to understand how to design elements using Eurocode 3.
Aims & Objectives:
On completion of this course delegates will have a knowledge of the principles of Eurocode 3 and be able to apply them to elements in a building structure. It will also introduce delegates to appropriate design aids.
After this course delegates will:
Have an appreciation of the content of Eurocode 3 for building structures
Know how to design for
o Flexure
Lateral torsional buckling
o Shear
o Axial loading
o Combined axial and bending resistance
o Deflection
o Fatigue
