An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
3D Structural Analysis and Design for Structural Steel Building
Efficiently Use American ' Steel Structures-Related ' Design Codes
Course Overview
This 3D Structural Analysis and Design of Structural Steel Buildings training course is a must for civil engineers working in Oil & Gas, Power plants, water treatment plants and residential projects. Participants of this workshop will gain advanced knowledge of structural engineering that includes principles of structures analysis and their application, behavior of materials under loading, selection of construction materials and design fundamentals for steel structures.
This training course will provide sample illustration of real structures that will assist the designer to understand StaadPro and apply it on different types of buildings. Different types of editing data to StaadPro will be discussed. The examples to be used would vary from the typical two-dimensional beams and frames to the three-dimensional multistory frames to special systems such as space frames. Throughout the course, the instructor shall start from the basics to ensure the full participation and comprehension of all attendants.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Three-dimensional modelling for different types of structures
- StaadPro Structural Analysis
- Applying Loads & Load combinations as per IBC / UBC / ASCE
- StaadPro Post processing results understanding
- Steel design as per AISC [ASD / LRFD]
- Creating BOQ list from StaadPro software
Training Objectives
- Understanding the behavior of structural members under loading
- Learning how to apply design loads as per American codes of standard
- Analyze deformation of members under loading
- Understand the significance of material properties in design
- Undertake basic design of Steel Structures
- Quantity Survey
Who should Attend?
Civil engineers with interest in learning about structural design. As backgrounds may vary the instructor will start from the basics and work his way towards more details and to practical applications.
