Structural Steel Design and Construction by European code
Course Description
Steel is the most used construction material in the USA and Europe 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. Its use in the Middle East region has been mostly confined to industrial plants, offshore structures and warehouses. The lower construction time and it can be used as a temporary structure make it competitive than the concrete structure. All the countries who is working by BS will be switch to the EC within the next years. Design of steel structures has widely been based on the Allowable Stress Design based on the EC. Many designers and fabricators still use the old allowable stress techniques. 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.

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

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