Design of Structural Steel Buildings

Structural Steel Buildings - Design and Practices
Civil Engineering

To help learners understand the concepts and practical aspects in the design and construction of steel buildings.

About the 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.

Course Objectives

The objective of the course is:

  • To provide an understanding of practical aspects of structural steel building design
  • To cover the various aspects like selection and planning of structural system, connections, and its components, evaluation of actual loads, integration of architectural and services requirements
  • To explain the structural modelling, analysis & design, fabrication, execution and inspection of a structural steel building
Key topics
Learning Outcomes

 On successful completion of the course, the learners will be able to:

  • Interpret site specific aspects of the structure like geotechnical investigations and project requirements
  • Develop design basis requirements including building functionalities, durability and materials
  • Compute loads of various elements & services, in line with industry practices, that acts on various structural elements of a steel building
  • Design appropriate vertical & lateral load resisting systems for the various loads acting on the building
  • Carry out the analysis & optimum design of a multi storeyed steel building using STAAD.Pro software, adhering to the codal requirements and connection design.
