An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Steel Design Using American Codes ( IBC , UBC , AISC )
Industrial Buildings from Design to Renovation & Repair
Course Overview
This Steel Design using American Codes 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 behavior of materials under loading and design fundamentals for steel structures and connections design.
This training course will provide sample illustration of real structures that will assist the designer to understand design methodologies and apply it on different types of buildings. 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:
- Selecting a suitable structural system and preparing the general layout
- Applying Loads & Load combinations as per IBC / UBC / ASCE
- Steel design as per AISC [ASD / LRFD]
- Steel connections design
