Explore steel structure design for oil and gas plants, covering elasticity and plasticity, hinge versus fixed connections, and practical design using Staad and Sap2000 with on-site context and examples.
Explore AISC, BS, and EC codes for steel and concrete design, compare reliability concepts and safety factors, and apply non-linear analysis and design methods across live loads.
explains beam-column design under axial force and bending, checking buckling, lateral buckling, deflection limits, flange thickness, and plastic neutral axis with section modulus.
This course is illustrating the ways of design the steel structure as per ASD and guide for LRFD in industrial project like piperack, workshop and others. The design of tension, compression member, beam, and beam column with the connections. The wind bracing design is discussed. It is cover the anchor bolt and base plate design. For industrial structure a session about the pipe rack how to calculate wind and seismic for piperack. There are a session about the dynamic analysis and present the design for steel deck under vibrating machines with example which is traditional case in most industrial projects.
There are many example and exercise during the course. The course outline as follow:
-Design concept and overview about ASD , LRFD and AISC and BS
-Different steel structure systems
-Loads calculation (dead load, live load, wind, seismic)
-Loads calculation on piperack as per ASEC
-tension and compression member design with example
-Beam design with example
-Example of piperack design under wind load
-Example for design a crane track girder
-Example of deck under vibrating equipment
-Beam column design with example
-Dynamic analysis and example of steel deck under vibrating machine
-Wind bracing system
-Lateral torsion buckling and column buckling will be illustrated in a separate sessions
-Connection design with example
-Anchor bolt and base plate design
The course materials have a steel members from American and European table and the student should solve the example with both section and send for discussion.
