Professional Certificate of Competency in Structural Design for Non Structural Engineers

This professional development course is designed for engineers and technicians who need to understand the role of a structural engineer.
Course Benefits:You may be eligible to claimCPD points through your local engineering association.Receive a Certificate of Completion from EIT.Learn from well-known faculty and industry experts from around the globe.Flexibility of attending anytime from anywhere, even when you are working full-time.Interact with industry experts during the webinars and get the latest updatesannouncements on the subject.Experience a global learning with students from various backgrounds and experience which is a great networking opportunity.Learn the fundamental concepts of structural engineering that includes the principles of analysis of structures and their application, the behavior of materials under loading, the selection of construction materials, and the design fundamentals for Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and steel structures.Get practical knowledge in designing of steel, RCC structures, masonry, and timber structures.Study the determination of the nature and quantum of stress developed under loads, and the way structures resist it.Gain understanding on topics such as behavior of structural members under loading, the concept of stress functions such as tension, compression, shear and bending, basic analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures, and the significance of material properties in design.Course Details:
Construction is the largest industry in the world. Within a civil engineering context, construction may refer to bridges, dams, earthworks, foundations, offshore structures, pipelines, power stations, railways, retaining structures, roads, tunnels, waterways, and water or wastewater infrastructures.Anything constructed needs to be designed first. Structural engineering deals with the analysis and design aspects required to ensure a safe, functional, and economical end product. During the design process, the designer may regularly interact with specialists such as architects and operational managers. Once the design is finalized, the implementation requires people to handle aspects such as statutory approvals, planning, quality assurance, and material procurement.The entire exercise can be undertaken in a highly-coordinated way if everyone involves understands the terminology or ‘project language.’ To fully understand this language, it is necessary to appreciate the principles of structural analysis and design.Participants in this course will gain a basic knowledge of structural engineering that includes the principles of analysis of structures and their application, the behavior of materials under loading, the selection of construction materials, and the design fundamentals for Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and steel structures. The emphasis will be on the determination of the nature and quantum of stress developed under loads, and the way structures offer resistance to it. As the most widely used construction materials, RCC and steel will be covered in detail, though masonry and timber are also introduced.
