Program Overview
- Duration: 24 Hours
SteelStructural design.
Junior Level
This program provides a fundamental introduction to the design of steel structures, focusing on understanding structural systems, load paths, and basic modeling. Participants will work on a practical project where they model a steel building and explain structural behavior and element interaction.
Target Group
- Students and recent graduates
- Junior engineers
- Professionals transitioning into structural engineering
Practical Project
- Participants will develop a basic steel building model and deliver: 3D structural model Description of structural system Explanation of load transfer Basic technical report (composition)
Learning Content
- Introduction to steel structural systems
- Basic load understanding (dead load, live load, snow, wind)
- Understanding steel elements (beams, columns, connections, bracing systems)
- Load transfer principles
-
Introduction to Eurocode 2 philosophy
Introduction to BIM modeling Basic steel framing systems Introduction to drawings and documentation
Learning Outcome
- Understand how steel structures behave
- Identify key structural elements and their roles
- Model a basic steel structure
