• The advantages, and disadvantages, of using structural steelwork
• An understanding of the failure modes in bending, axial, shear and lateral torsional buckling (LTB is introduced only)
• Examples of how to calculate the design resistance against bending, shear, axial and combined failure (lateral torsional buckling calculations are beyond this course)

Requirements

• Basic structural mathematics

Target audience

• This course was designed to benefit anyone involved in the construction industry.
• Structural engineers ranging from the novice to intermediate level.
• Other professionals within the industry such as architects, contractors and project managers looking to increase their design knowledge.
