This 8 hour course (4 modules) focuses on practical and economical solutions for framing a typical industrial building to the requirements of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada and the pertinent provisions of CSA Standard S16-14. Whenever possible, relevant provisions in the soon to be published NBCC 2015 will be discussed. The course material will reference the new third edition of the Crane-Supporting Steel Structures: Design Guide and feature a completely reworked design example.
This course also has the following goals:
- Identify the unique environmental and mechanical loading conditions in industrial buildings
- Learn the applicability and limitations of current codes and standards in Canada, with a comparison to other jurisdictions
- Select the most cost effective framing schemes
- Tips for cost effective design
- Design crane-supporting girders, stepped columns, purlins and girts, lateral force resisting systems, roof trusses and efficient connections
- Understand serviceability considerations and limitations
- Design for high and low temperatures
- Learn the implications of seismic provisions for these structures
Other topics include fatigue, standing seam roofs, rehabilitation, tolerances and coatings
Who should benefit?
- Structural engineers and others who design steel structures
- Inspectors and code officials involved in the approvals process
- Detailers, erectors and other industry personnel who connect structural steel components
- Professors and lecturers involved in teaching steel design courses
