Course Overview
What is the importance of structural steel design?
Bridges, buildings, industrial warehouses, high-rise towers, and other numerous structures utilise steel in their design and construction to ensure maximum strength and withstanding the external structural forces. Steel is the only viable option in constructing these structures apart from reinforced concrete for various reasons, including high stiffness levels, high strength, toughness, resistance to force, and ductility. It is also relatively less heavy and has a high speed of construction with a very competitive low cost as compared to other materials. In other regions of the world, it is the favourite construction material superseding reinforced concrete because of its easy use when erecting temporary structures.
With all these benefits and impressions, steel design is a crucial course that applies in numerous industries with high-demand skills. This Zoe course will give the participants the required skills to design the commonly used designs based on the AISC, BS, ASD (allowable stress design), and the EC3. The participants will be able to design all the steel elements’ structures and all the connections.
This Zoe course will highlight bolt designs, welded connections that will be used in steel structures, compression, and tension members design, batten plates, lacing systems, beams design, bases design when to use steel, lateral restraint, combined axial and bending resistance, stress, and strain yield strength levels, how steel fails, shear resistance, bending, and axial resistance.
What is the purpose of structural design training?
The knowledge and skills gained from this course can be applied to various fields that use steel structures, but it can be of more interest to the petroleum industry because there is a continuous modification of structures in the facilities located on-shore to enable the structures to handle more load for more machine holding. Due to this, this course is considered crucial for integrity management in this kind of change.
Some of the highlights in this course will include:
- Pitfalls in steel construction and steel capabilities
- International and local standards with technical practice in the required structures
- Steel structure elements design
Course Objectives
The main objectives of this course are to enable participants to be able to:
- Gather the experience and skills needed to design high-quality steel structures
- Have a better understanding of the modern tools and techniques for risk-based inspection for a better maintenance plan
- Have a deep knowledge of the design of steel structures on machines
- Understand well load application on steel structure and how to deal with tension and compression stress
- Be intimately familiar with pipe rack design
- Get to use modern methods and techniques in the steel structure design
Training Methodology
Zoe Talent offers this course by utilising the industry’s best professionals who are the voice of authority in their areas of expertise because of their experience. Training will be delivered in the form of class notes, short videos, exercises, and case studies with a design that is supposed to ensure maximum understanding. When necessary, there will be individual and group presentations to showcase designs created.
All the participants are encouraged to actively participate in this course to make it engaging. Role play might be employed where necessary. Like all our acclaimed courses, this program also follows the ‘Do-Review-Learn-Apply’ model.
