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 learned from the course to achieve economy in the design, fabrication and erection of steel structures

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