Explore the European code EC3 for steel structure design, covering tension and compression members, buckling, lateral torsional buckling, beam column interactions, practical Excel tools, and case studies.
Design a steel column under axial compression per EC3 guidelines, using HEB 340 and S355, and assess buckling reductions with chi in an Excel-based analysis.
Understand beam column design in steel frames, including axial force and bending moment interaction, local buckling avoidance, and the role of compact sections under EC3 and other codes.
Design wind bracing strategies to transfer lateral and seismic loads to the foundation, using upper and lower wind bracing, transverse bracing, and crane considerations for rigid frame stability.
Develop welding knowledge for steel structure design under the ec3 european code. Learn how welding complies with ec3 requirements for steel structures.
The european code is widely use now and the steel structures are used world wide for high rise building, workshops, buildings and others. The best practical design is to be an optimum to reduce the tonnage of steel so it needs a realistic and optimum design.The course present the way of calculating the loads in the steel structures and present all the loads that affect the building like dead load, live load, wind, seismic, snow and others as per EC3. This course will present the main keys of the steel structure design for different members like tension members, beam, column, and beam column. The design will based on EC3 and present also with examples. The steel structure members behaviour will be discussed such as the buckling and lateral torsion buckling for beams and other parameters and behaviour that can affect the steel structure design based on European code EC3. The differnces between the structures system and the beaviour and load transfere of the bracing system will be discussed in this training couse also.
The main part of the steel structure is the connections design. So this course cover the design of connections for fixed and shear connecton . The the anchor bolts design will be illustrated and also will be applied with example by using excel sheet and using tools for the design by using software.
The ways of construction will be presented and types of bolted and welded connection will be presented in the course. The QC of steel structure for the bolted and welded connection will be illustrated. At the end of the course the attendees can contact us to send him an excel sheet to design the main member by EC3.
