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. 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 ASD for AISC and presnt also LRFD 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. 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 design concept will be presented and define the dfferences between LRFD and ASD, also the and design will be based on AISC. All the course based on illustartion with example from a real project.
The ways of construction will be presented and types of bolted and welded connection will be presented in the course. The QC of steel structute for the bolted and welded connection will be illustarted
