This GLOMACS Steel Design using American Codes Training Seminar is a must for civil engineers working in Oil & Gas, Power plants, water treatment plants and residential projects. Participants of this workshop will gain advanced knowledge of structural engineering that includes behavior of materials under loading and design fundamentals for steel structures and connections design.

This GLOMACS training course will provide sample illustration of real structures that will assist the designer to understand design methodologies and apply it on different types of buildings. The examples to be used would vary from the typical two-dimensional beams and frames to the three-dimensional multistory frames to special systems such as space frames. Throughout the course, the instructor shall start from the basics to ensure the full participation and comprehension of all attendants.

This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:

• Selecting a suitable structural system and preparing the general layout
• Applying Loads & Load combinations as per IBC / UBC / ASCE
• Steel design as per AISC [ASD / LRFD]
• Steel connections design

• Understanding the behavior of structural members under loading
• Learning how to apply design loads as per American codes of standard
• Analyze deformation of members under loading
• Undertake basic design of Steel Structures
• Performing different types of steel connections design

This GLOMACS Civil & Construction Engineering training seminar will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. Relevant examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the application of each of the topics covered.

• Find out which structural systems are typically used in industrial buildings
• Understanding of codes of practice
• Loading and load combinations calculation
• Do cost-effective design
• Handle design changes

By participation in this GLOMACS training program, attendee will be able to:

• Design using allowable stress design and load-resistance factor design methods
• Perform design of main steel members (Columns, beams, braces, etc.)
• Design Steel connections
• Design of base plates and anchor bolts
• Design end Gables & side girts

Engineer with interest in learning about structural steel design. As backgrounds may vary, the instructor will start from the basics and work his way towards more details and to practical applications.
