About the Course
"Design Basics of Steel Buildings" is a comprehensive course that covers all fundamental aspects of designing steel structures. Participants delve into the foundational elements essential for successful building design, including understanding the basis for design through comprehensive reports and considering site location in conjunction with building functionality. Geometric parameters of the building are explored to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
A critical aspect of the course is designing for the intended lifespan of the building, taking into account exposure conditions and implementing corrosion protection measures to enhance durability. Participants gain insight into the diverse range of materials used in steel building construction, from concrete and reinforcement to structural steel, bolts, welds, and fireproofing materials.
The course introduces participants to various design loads, including gravity & lateral loads including wind, and earthquake loads. They learn to calculate wind loads using different methods, considering factors such as drag, interference, and dynamic effects. Earthquake loads are also thoroughly examined, with a focus on zone factors, response reduction factors, and calculation methods.
Structural layout planning is emphasized, with considerations for grid planning tailored to specific building types. Participants explore vertical load-resisting systems, such as slabs, beams, and trusses, and gain an understanding of the significance of lateral load-resisting systems, including moment-resisting frames, braced frames, and shear walls.
Participants will also learn to calculate preliminary sizes of structural elements based on design requirements and gain insights into coordinating structural design with building services. By the course's conclusion, participants emerge equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices involved in designing steel buildings, ensuring safety, functionality, and longevity in their projects.

It is a basic course, with good information. There is a recurring problem in the course tasks and surveys and it is that some questions are configured incorrectly, and even if the correct answer is selected, it is marked as incorrect. An error present in all modules.
