Introduction
Steel is the most used construction material in the USA for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the world because of its much favorable characteristics including strength, stiffness, ductility and toughness, erection rapidity, competitive cost and more. In the Middle East region, steel is mostly use in industrial plants, offshore structures and warehouses. The speed for construction and its use for building temporary structure make it competitive than concrete.
We will be discussing the design of steel structures that has been widely based on the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), AISC, BS and EC3. The course will be presented with ASD and LRFD approach.
The petroleum industry’s interest to modify the structure in the on-shore facilities to carry more load or add more machines so the integrity management of change must be considered important. The composite section design and FRP will be presented in the course. The pushover analysis will be discussed to define the probability of failure for industrial structure. All example will be specifically related to oil and gas projects for most oil and gas companies worldwide.
This training course will feature:
- Case studies on petroleum industry
- The codes and standard with technical practice in this field
- The new trend of integrity management system will be presented
- The design of steel structure under reciprocating and centrifugal machines
- The capability of review The engineering and pitfalls in construction
- The pushover structure analysis technique
Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Be familiar with The “Steel Structure” design
- Understand the loads applied on the steel structure in oil, gas and petrochemical plant
- Know the modern technique on the risk based inspection for maintenance plan
- Be familiar with the pipe rack design
- Know the design of the steel structure on machines
- Identify the use of composite section in strength and repair
Training Methodology
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The presentation will be aided with videos and photos.
Organizational Impact
