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