Course Introduction:

This course introduces the design of structural elements found in steel buildings, in particular the design of steel tension membranes, beams, columns, beam columns and connection. The purpose of this course is to familiarize the design of steel structures by the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) method. Steel is perhaps the most used construction material for high-rise towers, industrial buildings, bridges and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the US and rest of the world because of its many favorable characteristics including high strength, high stiffness, ductility and toughness, speed of erection, competitive cost, etc. Its use in the Middle East region has been mostly confined to industrial plants and warehouses. The rise in labor cost and the need for higher buildings will inevitably improve the competitive edge of steel in many instances in the near future.

This course shall make reference to various codes old and new but is primarily based on the AISC-LRFD procedures, which are the recognized state of the art in design.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

Ø Apply the modern procedures for the design and erection of structural steel buildings

Ø Discuss the usage of steel in construction and the correct codes of practice for the design

Ø Illustrate the real design and construction issues to consider a safe, economical and constructible structural steel system
