What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to confidently analyse building frames, beams, and columns. You will learn to identify loads, pick suitable steel sections, calculate reactions, shear forces, bending moments, deflections, and combined stresses, and check them against allowable limits. Additionally, you will master clear documentation of assumptions, units, references, and computations to ensure your technical reports are precise, streamlined, and reviewer-friendly.
