Course Catalogue.

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

• Achieve economy on your projects by the skills developed through participating in the two workshops on designing and detailing connections under instructor guidance
• Design bolted and welded connections under static and dynamic loading
• Apply methods learnt from the course to achieve economy in design, fabrication and erection of steel structures

Description
Connections form a very important part of any steel structure and integrity of the structure depends on them. Accurate details and specifications are required for fabrication to ensure trouble-free erection. There is a potential for achieving economy in designing and specifying connections which is the focus of this workshop.

Course Outline:

• Introduction
• Connection types
• Bolts in bearing-type connections
• Bolts in slip-resistance connections
• Welding design for stiffeners
• Design of column base plates
• Hollow structural section connections
• Design for fatigue
• Connection design for earthquake loading
• Installation and inspection of bolts

Who Should Attend
Structural Designers • Consulting Engineers • Detailers • Specification Writers • Civil Engineers in large industries • Technicians and Technologists • Fabricators and Erectors of Steel Structures
