Structural Reliability Analysis and design in Civil Engineering
Course Description
Efficient structural design of industrial facilities requires engineers to possess integrated knowledge of theories and practices. It is essential to understand the issues that can impact stability, safety, and serviceability. This course presents structural design of industrial facilities in a systematic manner starting with loads and the load combinations, different types of structural systems and framing concepts including crane runways and elevated floors. It discusses the essential concepts of strength and stability, serviceability, and safe structural design and analysis. The design intricacies of various structural elements associated with industrial plants are reviewed. Connections and anchorage required for assembling a safe and serviceable structure are discussed. Deep and shallow foundation designs utilized in the industrial facilities including the equipment foundations are investigated. The course also covers the analysis of industrial floor slabs subjected to moving loads (traffic) and establishes structural design procedures by illustrating them with numerical examples similar to those usually encountered in design offices. Wall systems suitable for use in the industrial facilities are reviewed. Most commonly used materials and the selections of appropriate materials are discussed. To ensure a complete understanding, the course concludes with a design workshop that integrates the concepts and procedures learned.
