Structural Steel Buildings - Design and Practices

About Course

This course deals with a comprehensive coverage of steel building design with end-to-end design of multi-storeyed steel buildings - from conceptualization to completion, with design aspects starting from the project requirements, site specific activities like, earthworks and geotechnical investigation. Computation of vertical loads including MEP services as well as lateral loads like wind and earthquake are assessed in practical building design and the selection and design of the load resisting system is also covered. Start to end processes of an example commercial building design using STAAD.Pro software with industry practices including load calculation, structural scheme selection, preliminary design, modelling, analysis, design, GFC drawings, fabrication and erection drawings, quantification, execution and inspection are covered in this course. Other aspects like integration of non-structural elements like facades and service equipment supporting systems, building information modelling (BIM) etc., are also covered.
