CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This course is aimed at providing civil and structural engineers a good understanding of the general rules, main features in Eurocode. The course will cover the basis of structural component and frame design, structural loading, material properties, design at the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state. Practical examples with direct reference to the code clauses will be used to illustrate the application of the code requirements. Case studies are provided to illustrate clearly the theory of structural stability and design and how they can be applied to avoid structural collapse.
- Introduction to EC3 steel design
- Local buckling and cross-section classification
- Plate stability; slenderness limits; effective cross sections.
- Design of Restrained Unrestrained beams
- Tension members: Section capacity with holes; angles and channel section; capacity of welded and bolted sections; plate with staggered bolt arrangement
- Compression members: Factors affecting column buckling; column effective buckling length; buckling curves.
- Bracing and Ties: Evaluation of buckling length; effective lateral restraints;
- Portal frames: frame geometry, structural bracing; classification of nonsway frame; design checks for members; sway stability check; buckling between intermediate and torsional restraints
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Enhance their understanding of Eurocode provisions for the design of steel structures;
- Apply design principles and standards in accordance with Eurocode 3 in the design of steel buildings.
- Design structural steel frames and components in accordance with Eurocode 3 design principles & and methodology.
- Avoid common mistakes in design with lessons learned from case studies and collapse investigations
