20th/July/2015, Imperial College London, One-day Course on Second Order Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

Second Order Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

Introduction

This one day course presents a comprehensive treatment of the second order analysis and design of steel structures. An overview of the provisions of Eurocode 3, an explanation of the various types of structural analysis and conventional design to Eurocode 3 will first be covered. Emphasis will then be placed on advanced analysis and design techniques including the treatment of frame and member imperfections, second order P-∆ and P-δ effects and the interpretation of analysis results. Using advanced second order analyses, with imperfections, the need to estimate effective lengths and conduct individual member buckling checks is removed, since this behaviour is already captured in the analysis. Only cross-section checks need to be made. Practical worked examples and exercises using both traditional and advanced design methods will be given, and all delegates will receive a trial version of the nonlinear analysis software NIDA, which has been applied to design of a number of steel structures without the need to assume member effective lengths.

Second Order Analysis and Design of Steel Structures

The benefits of EC3 global analysis and design integration with BIM

Introduction

This half day course presents an understanding of the strategy involved with current structural code provisions and presents a comprehensive treatment of the second order analysis and design of sustainable, safe and economic steel structures.

Course participants will be provided with an overview of the provisions of Eurocode 3. An explanation of the various types of structural analysis and conventional design to Eurocode 3 will be covered. Emphasis will then be placed on analysis and design techniques including the treatment of frame and member imperfections, second order PΔ and Pδ effects and the interpretation of analysis results.

Modern software will be demonstrated to deliver Eurocode 3 global ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state analysis and designs for Eurocode reliability requirements.
