COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions where participants will visit steel structures. Practical sessions will be performed in order to apply the theory learnt in the class.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of steel structure design, construction, inspection, maintenance & durability. It covers the proper use of techniques and procedures on design, inspection, maintenance and durability of steel structures; the properties of steel and the tension members; the various types of structural fasteners and emphasize the common welding processes used in steel structures; the scope of the compression members and explain the features and functions of laterally supported beams.
The course will also cover the torsion, lateral-torsional buckling of beams, continuous beams and plate girders and employ their practical application in steel structures; the types of connections used in steel structures and differentiate braced and unbraced frames; the methodological practical applications on structural steel and bolting inspection. Moreover, it will assist the delegates to execute the maintenance procedures of steel structures and emphasize the sustainability of steel-framed buildings and the different approaches used in maintaining the durability of steel structures.
