Advanced Steel Structure Design & Construction For Oil & Gas & Petrochemical Industry
Course Description
Steel and reinforced concrete structures are the most used in industrial sector special in oil and gas field for onshore and offshore. Therefore, the basis of design for concrete and steel structures will be discussed in scope of codes concept. So ACI, BS, AISC, UBC, ASCE will be discussed in scope of practical wise to use the suitable to serve our business safety and operability. Design of steel structures has widely been based on the Allowable Stress Design based on the AISC. Many designers and fabricators still use the old allowable stress techniques. The more recent LRFD code of the AISC offer more rational and economical procedures for the design of steel structures so we will be discussed the two methods. The design steps of reinforced concrete structure elements will be discussed from ACI and BS codes. All the case studies will be related to oil and gas business to give the attendees the ability to design and to review the design for reinforced concrete structure and associated work. The petroleum industry is interesting in modify the structure in case of offshore structures topsides or in the on shore facilities to carry more load or add more machine so the management of change must be considered and important taking into consideration the time and cost of shutdown factor.
