Why Choose this Training Course?

The 3D Structural Analysis and Design for Structural Steel Building Training Course is designed for civil and structural engineering professionals involved in the design of facilities within the oil and gas, power generation, water and wastewater treatment, industrial, and building sectors. The training provides participants with advanced knowledge of structural engineering principles, including structural analysis, material behaviour under loading, selection of construction materials, and the fundamental design requirements for structural steel buildings using recognised American design standards.

Participants will develop practical skills in creating and analysing three-dimensional structural models using STAAD.Pro while gaining a comprehensive understanding of structural modelling techniques applicable to a wide range of projects. The training incorporates practical examples covering two-dimensional beams and frames, three-dimensional multi-storey structures, and specialised structural systems such as space frames. From establishing analytical models to interpreting design results, delegates will progressively build the knowledge required to confidently apply STAAD.Pro to real engineering applications. The training begins with core concepts before advancing to more complex structural analysis and steel design techniques, ensuring participants of varying experience levels can fully engage with the material.

This 3D Structural Analysis and Design for Structural Steel Building Training Course will highlight:

  • Developing three-dimensional analytical models for various structural systems
  • Performing structural analysis using STAAD.Pro
  • Applying loads and load combinations in accordance with IBC, UBC, and ASCE requirements
