• • This short course is intended to overview modern procedures for the design and erection of structural steel buildings especially for oil and gas industry.
  • The attendees will be familiar with the European code (EC) and will know the comparison between it and the BS.
  • This course will increase the knowledge and assist in using new tools for designing and construction the steel structure 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 and construction issues that may assist the designer to conceive of a structural steel system that is safe, economical and constructible.
  • The rule of thumb to check the steel structure or to
    modify the deck in case of offshore and onshore structures.
  • The course will be started from the basics to ensure the full
    participation of all attendees.

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

Design structural engineers, Supervision engineer, Planners, Steel fabricator, Construction engineers
