Course Description:
This course is a practical structural design course that contains step-by-step procedures that include instructions that help understand and solve routine building structural problems. The course contains a short introduction to the National Building Code of Canada, NBCC 2005, and then goes into detail on how to calculate the expected environmental and occupational loads on a structure, which includes dead, live, snow, wind, and seismic loads. The course then goes into the design of steel, reinforced concrete, and wooden structural elements by limit states design according to the Canadian Standard Association CSA codes S16-01, A23. 3-04, and O86-01, respectively. The course also includes the connection design of steel and wooden members.
Target Audience:
* Structural site Engineers and even design Engineers needing to refresh their design skills according to the new building code and design standards.
* APEGGA examinees for the 98-Civ-A2 elementary structural Design
* Structural contractors wanting to know how the structures they erect are designed.
* Structural draftsmen wanting to know how the structures they draw are designed.
* Architects and non-structural engineers such as mechanical, electrical and plant engineers interested in upgrading their knowledge and skills in the area of structural design.
Course Objectives:
Introduce the attendees to the manner in which environmental influences and occupancies are transformed into structural loadings and the manner in which structures resist these loadings. The attendees will learn how to compute loadings, and to design steel, concrete and wood members, including steel and wood connections. The course also aims at exposing the attendees to the practical aspects of design, which are normally gained through practical experience and the work in design offices.
Expected Outcomes:
This course will introduce you to the current codes and standards that govern structural design, including the structural provisions of the National Building Code of Canada NBCC 2005. You will also learn:
* Basic understanding of codes and design methods.
* Understanding of how to calculate the environmental and occupational loads and their combined effect on a structure.
* Knowledge on the design of steel tension, compression and bending members.
* Knowledge on the design of reinforced concrete beams and columns.
* Knowledge on the design of wooden beams and columns.
* Knowledge on the design of steel and wooden connections.
