Advanced Concrete and Steel Structures analysis and Design

"This course presents the concept of the concrete and steel design and the comparison between American, British and European codes and standards. It is also presents the meaning of the factors that is applied to the load and the reduction factors in ACI, AISC, ASCE and partial safety factors as per BS and EC. The course presents the main concept and difference between LRFD, WSD and ASD by applying the methods of structure reliability. This course illustrates the structure reliability concept. The structure redundancy and the plasticity methods will be presented in addition to the nonlinear, collapse and the pushover analysis with practical for most common software. In addition to that present the meaning of RSR and how it can be used to evaluate the existing structures.In summary the participant will understand the concept of codes and standard which facilitate the complicated issues in design, construction, QC and maintenance. The participant will understand the structure redundancy and how it can withstand how much more load rather that the design load. The attendees will know concept of the nonlinear analysis and the pushover analysis and the definition of RSR and how he can calculate. This is applicable for concrete and steel structures. The different between structure system and how to choose the best one in the conceptual phase from reliability point of view."
