What will I learn?
The Structural Steel Design Course provides a clear, practical workflow to design a complete 18×12 m portal frame using recognised codes. Learn how to model loads, perform essential hand calculations, select efficient members from section tables, and detail connections for fabrication and erection. You also master concise reporting, documentation, and assumptions so your designs are consistent, verifiable, and ready for real projects.
