Introduction to Steel Structures, Analysis and Design Course

Course Overview:

The goal of the training course Prime Steel Structures for Students of the course Architecture and Design is to equip participants with the basic knowledge of design, analysis, and application of steel structure which is the most common in the industrial construction, especially in designing oil, gas, and petrochemical plants.

Towards the end of the program, the participants will appreciate the different types of loads that come about in the steel structures, the principles surrounding the use of composite sections and incorporate the current techniques associated with risk based inspection and maintenance management.

Other programs train in designing of steel beams, slabs and portals, gurdgeons and connections, foundations and supervise their designing using the Staad Pro V8i and Abaqus packages.

This is particularly useful for civil engineers, structural designers and builders as they broaden their scope of what steel structure design and construction entails.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this Introduction to Steel Structures, Analysis, and Design training course, participants will be able to:

• Be familiar with the “Steel Structure” design
• Understand the loads applied on the steel structure in oil, gas, and petrochemical plant
• Know the modern technology on the risk-based inspection for a maintenance plan
• Be familiar with the pipe rack design
• Know the design of the steel structure on machines
• Identify the use of composite sections in strength and repair
