Steel Structure Connection Design | IDEA StatiCa | From Zero
3DModeling, Analysis & Design of different connections : Rigid & Semi Rigid beam to column, brace, base plate, splice
Lo que serás capaz de hacer
Note: This course is full of real-word examples of steel connections. • Are you ready to develop engineering judgment and interpretation skills for steel connection design , instead of just learning how to model? • Do you want to compare IDEA StatiCa results with manual calculations and see why differences appear in beam-to-column connections, base plates, and gusset plates ? • Are you prepared to tackle real-world steel connection design challenges faced by professional engineers in structural engineering projects? This course is a comprehensive and professional training on Steel Structure Connection Design using IDEA StatiCa, developed for engineers who want to master modeling, analysis, design, and interpretation of steel connections from zero to professional level. Unlike basic software tutorials, this course focuses on real engineering behavior, code-based design, and result interpretation, helping you understand why a connection passes or fails — not just how to model it. You will work with a wide range of moment connections, shear connections, braced connections, gusset plates, base plates, beam splices, and column splices, following AISC and ACI design concepts, capacity design principles, and nonlinear stress–strain analysis.
