The CISC continuing education new online course Connections I for Steel Detailers is being presented in twenty, 2 hour sessions (40 Hours).
Webinar Dates & Times
December 6
to February 23 |
Tuesdays and Thursdays,
7:00 p.m .to 9:00 p.m. |
Course description
This course is the first in a two level series intended to develop the skills necessary for the design of steel connections as related to the construction of steel-framed structures.
The basic objective is to assist steel industry personnel in their understanding of basic connection design principles, and to design simple welded and bolted connections suitable for fabrication. They will also understand the origin of the rules and standards used in the steel industry.
The scope of the course is limited to connections normally encountered in common types of steel building structures and does not include connections in Seismic Force Resisting Systems (See Seismic Connections for Steel-Framed Buildings).
This training also has the following goals:
• understand and apply the major principles of the static forces
and strength of materials in connection design
• recognize the properties and characteristics of steel
• use the appropriate connecting elements (bolts and welds)
• develop curiosity and critical judgment
Topics include properties of steel, high strength bolts, welds, tension members, bolted shear connections and welded shear connections.
Who should attend?
• steel detailers with a basic understanding of statics and strength of materials
• junior steel fabrication engineers new to connection design
• college instructors involved in teaching steel detailing courses
