Steel is the most used construction material in the USA for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the world because of its many favorable characteristics including high strength, high stiffness, ductility and toughness, speed of erection, competitive cost, etc. In the Middle East region, steel is mostly use in industrial plants, offshore structures and warehouses. The speed for construction and its use for building temporary structure make it competitive than concrete.

The design of steel structures that has been widely based on the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), AISC, BS and EC3 will be discussed. This GLOMACS Structural Steel Design online training course will be presented to enable the trainees of design most elements of steel structure in addition to connections.

The petroleum industry’s interest to modify the structure in the on-shore facilities to carry more load or add more machines so the integrity management of change must be considered important. The composite section design and FRP will be presented in this online training course. The pushover analysis will be discussed to define the probability of failure for industrial structure.

This GLOMACS Structural Steel Design online training course will feature:

• Case studies from different industry
• The codes and standard with technical practice in this field
• The new trend of integrity management system will be presented
• The design of most elements of steel structure
• The capability of review the engineering and pitfalls in construction

By the end of this Structural Steel Design online training course, participants will be able to: 

• Be familiar with the “Steel Structure” design
• Understand the loads applied on the steel structure in oil, gas and petrochemical plant
• Know the modern technique on the risk-based inspection for maintenance plan
• Be familiar with the pipe rack design
• Know the design of the steel structure on machines
• Identify the use of composite section in strength and repair

This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice.

• Improve the organization project by enhance the quality of engineering review for steel structure design
