What will I learn?
The Structural Steel Design Course provides a straightforward, hands-on process to design a full 18×12 m portal frame following approved standards. You'll learn to model loads, perform key manual calculations, pick suitable members from section tables, and specify connections for building and assembly. Additionally, you'll gain expertise in clear reporting, documentation, and assumptions to ensure your designs are reliable, checkable, and suitable for actual projects.
