SCI courses restart in September

After a short summer break, the Steel Construction Institute (SCI) will resume its steel industry courses on 22 September in Birmingham with Steel Connection Design.

This course is for designers and technicians wanting practical tuition in steel connection design. It concentrates on the design of nominally pinned connections, in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-8, considering vertical shear and tying.

The Eurocode approach to the design of moment resisting connections will be discussed, anticipating that software will be used for the design of these connections.

Bracing connections, bases, splices, welded joints and non-standard connections will all be covered. The Eurocode rules for ordinary and pre-loaded assemblies will be discussed. Critical design checks and rules of thumb will be identified for preliminary connection sizing. Delegates should expect to undertake a series of numerical examples.
