The construction segment consumes major portion of steel products. In this module the diversity of steel in its wide variety of types, shapes, properties and applications in building and other major structures will be explored. This will be of interest to civil and structural engineers, Architects, designers and fabricators.
Buildings are subjected to various external loads out of which Wind load and Seismic Load are predominant. This course deals with these two loads in details with reference to codal provisions also. Occurrence of Wind Load and development of wind pressure on structures and assessment of design pressure for structural design as per IS 875 (Part 3) is thus being considered for discussion Additionally, factors affecting the design pressure of wind, secondary effects of wind in structural design are also being dealt.
Similarly effects of Earthquake load on buildings are considered in connection with the codes which are used in the country.
Connections of steel members are an important part in steel structure. Requirement of connections, its detailing and use of bolts as fasteners to develop the connectivity in structural members forms a part of discussion too. Assessment of strength and serviceability of bolted connections depending on the factors affecting such design as per IS 800:2007 has been included. Also considered is the Comparison of earthquake resistant connections as stipulated in IS 800:2007&Euro Code 3.
Cost effective corrosion protection of structural steelwork should present little difficulty for common applications and environments if the factors that affect durability are recognized at the outset. The key to success lies in recognizing the corrosiveness of the environment to which the structure will be exposed and in defining clear and appropriate coating specifications.
Passive fire protection materials insulate steel structures from the effects of the high temperatures that may be generated in fire. They can be divided into two types, non-reactive, of which the most common types are boards and sprays, and reactive, of which thin film intumescent coatings are the most common example. Thin film intumescent coatings can be either on-site or off-site applied.
