Steel Structure Design, Inspection, Maintenance and Durability

Introduction

Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures simplifies the estimation of those vital parameters. Many design engineers make the relatively common mistake of using default properties of materials as input to nonlinear analyses without realizing that any minor variation in the nonlinear characteristics of constitutive materials, such as concrete and steel, could result in a solution error that leads to incorrect assessment or interpretation.

Steel is the most used construction material in the USA for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the world because of its much favorable characteristics including strength, stiffness, ductility and toughness, erection rapidity, competitive cost, and more. In the Middle East region, steel is mostly used in industrial plants, offshore structures, and warehouses. The speed for construction and its use for building a temporary structure make it competitive than concrete. We will be discussing the design of steel structures that has been widely based on the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), AISC, BS, and EC3. The course will be presented with ASD and LRFD approach. The petroleum industry’s interest to modify the structure in the on-shore facilities to carry more load or add more machines so the integrity management of change must be considered important. The composite section design and FRP will be presented in the course. The pushover analysis will be discussed to define the probability of failure for industrial structure. All examples will be specifically related to oil and gas projects for most oil and gas companies worldwide.

Objectives

Upon the successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:-

• Be familiar with the “Steel Structure” design
• To help the participants to understand deeply the concrete analysis and performing the dynamic analysis on the concrete structure.
• Understand the loads applied on the steel structure in oil, gas and petrochemical plant
• Know the modern techniques on the risk-based inspection for a maintenance plan
• Be familiar with the pipe rack design
• Know the design of the steel structure on machines
• Identify the use of composite section in strength and repair

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for all those who are interested in learning about steel design such as Civil Engineers, Design Structural Engineers, Supervision Engineer, Planners, Steel Fabricator, and Construction Engineers. Also, civil engineers- Structure engineers – Concrete specialists.
