Structural Steel Design : Load Calculations to Connection

Welcome to Structural Steel Design: Load Calculations to Connection!

This course is your complete guide to mastering the design and analysis of structural steel systems.
Starting from load estimations, through frame modeling and member design, and finally to detailed connection design, you will gain a practical, real-world understanding of steel structures.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Create detailed steel layouts using AutoCAD software professionally.

• Calculate loads according to international standards such as ASCE 7-16 and TIA 222G.

• Model and analyze two-dimensional steel frames with SAP2000 efficiently and accurately.

• Calculate buckling lengths for columns, rafters, and bracing systems with confidence.

• Design beams and columns manually and using Excel spreadsheets.

• Design various steel connections using IDEA StatiCa and RAM Connection tools.

• Handle special structural systems like solid signs and fuel stations carefully.

• Understand P-Delta effects and second-order analysis in steel structures properly.

In addition, you will learn practical workflows, techniques to avoid common mistakes, and methods to enhance the safety and efficiency of your structural designs.
Real-world case studies are included to strengthen your technical judgment and engineering decision-making skills.
This course is designed to provide both academic knowledge and practical experience, helping you become a confident and skilled structural engineer.
