Structural Design for Non Structural Engineers
Course Description
Architects and non-structural engineers often work together with structural engineers on design projects. An understanding of the basic concepts of structural engineering could make their jobs easier. If you are involved with the design and construction of concrete, steel, or wood structures, you will find this course particularly helpful.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

It is assumed that course candidates have no formal training in structural engineering. Basic concepts and design examples will be reviewed without in-depth mathematical derivations. This course is not designed to make you a structural engineer, but you will leave the course with an understanding of the structural design process and know when you need to call in an expert.

Training Objective

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

    • Learn basic principles of strength of materials and structural analysis
    • Be introduced to the codes that govern structural design
    • Be familiarized with the available design aids
    • Understand the fundamentals of structural analysis
    • Learn how to apply loads, select materials, and calculate footings, foundations, columns, beams, floor systems, shear walls and diaphragms
    • Achieve an understanding of Shear and Moment diagrams and how these are used by designers in concrete, steel and wood
    • Learn the behavior of structures and ways to save construction costs

Target Audience

Construction Engineers, Senior Construction Engineers, Construction Supervisors, Construction General Supervisors, Construction Project Managers, Engineering Technologists, Supervision Engineer, Inspection Engineers, Civil Inspectors, Foremen, Design Structural Engineers, Planners, Structural Engineers, Material Specialists, Quality Control and Quality Assurance Experts, Architects, Supervision Engineers, Team Leaders, Site Officers and Managers, Mechanical Engineers, Technical Professionals, Field Production Supervisor, Operation Engineers, Clients Representatives.
