Core Concepts & Applications:

• AISC Design Philosophies: Learn how to apply Load combinations of design using LRFD (Limit State Design) and ASD (Allowable Stress Design) as per AISC360-16.
• Stability Requirements: Understand the different methods for designing stable structures: Effective length method, Direct analysis method, and First-order analysis method.
• Geometric Imperfections & Residual Stresses: Gain insights into how these factors affect your design and how to account for them using the direct analysis procedure in SAP2000.
• Second-Order Analysis: Master the steps required to perform second-order analysis correctly within the software.
• Load Factors & Load Combinations: Learn how to factor loads appropriately when using the direct analysis method.
• Member Design for Various Forces: Explore the design of members under different types of forces including compression, flexure, tension, shear, and combined forces.
• Serviceability Limits: Understand check deflection in an analysis model and ensure your design meets the serviceability requirements.
• Code Adjustments: Adjust overwrites for cases where you are designing according to the Egyptian Code, considering the differences between AISC and the current code.
• Seismic Design: Learn the principles of seismic design as per the Special Seismic Provisions (ANSI/AISC 341-16).
