Introduction

Understanding steel building design: load application, analysis parameters, and design methods for different structural elements.

Syllabus

Structural Models for Analysis

This module covers the software aided structural modelling using STAAD Pro, including building geometry, member groups, section libraries, material properties, member specification, support conditions, loads, load combinations, and the analysis and design process. The module also addresses the interpretation of analysis and design results, providing insights into output visualization and understanding.

Beam Design

This module focuses on beam design for buildings, presenting an overview of IS 800 standards, covering manual and software-based beam design. It addresses failure analysis, optimization, design of cantilever beams, service integration, built-up beams, torsion, and backup beam concepts. Additionally, the module explores simplified floor vibration analysis for comprehensive structural understanding.

Columns, Base Plate and Anchor Bolts

This module focuses on column design for buildings, covering manual and software-based approaches. It addresses failure analysis, optimization, and introduces a beam-column design approach. The content includes the design of beam-columns, base plates, and anchor bolts, providing a comprehensive overview of the structural design process for columns in building construction.

Tension Members, Bracings and Façade Supporting Elements

This module explores tension members in buildings, detailing types and grades. It covers the design of tension members, bracings, and façade supporting structures. Then the content delves into the design of mullions and transoms. Additionally the module also provides insights into the planning and design approach for terrace floors and architecturally exposed steel elements in building structures.
