The design steps of reinforced concrete structure elements will be discussed from ACI and BS codes.

All the case studies in workshop 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.

• • This short course is intended to overview modern and effective procedures for the design for steel structures and reinforced concrete structures for oil and gas industry.
  • The course will be containing extensive workshop as a hand calculation for reinforced concrete and steel structure element which use in oil and gas industry as pipe rack and frame structures in plant process.
  • This course will increase the knowledge and assist in using new tools for designing and reviewing the design for new project or modify the existing one.
  • The interaction between concrete and steel will be defined.
    The anchor bolts, machine skid design, construction and
    installation will be discussed theoretically and practically.
  • For those engineers with limited practical experience the course
    will illustration of real design issues that may assist the designer to provide concrete and steel a structural steel that is safe, economical and constructible.
  • The rule of thumb to check the concrete and steel structure design with associated check list.
  • The course will be started from the basics to ensure the full participation of all attendees.

Civil engineers who are interesting in learning about concrete and steel design may attend the course.

• Design structural engineers
• Supervision engineer
• Planners
