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.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Introduction to structural design with Eurocode 3 global analysis provisions
  • Load combinations
  • Conventional design of structural steel elements
  • Structural analysis techniques
  • Eigenvalue analysis & modelling of imperfections
  • Second order PΔ & Pδ effects
  • Nonlinear analysis & design of steel structures
  • Practical worked examples
  • Practical design integration with BIM ready software NIDA for direct structural efficiency and element/detail design
