Introduction:
Construction is the world's largest industry; anything constructed must be designed first. Structural Engineering is a critical field focusing on the analysis and design of structures, with a primary goal of ensuring safety, functionality, and economy. Designers collaborate with specialists such as architects and operational managers throughout the design process.
Understanding the principles of structural analysis and design is essential for effective coordination during the implementation phase, which involves statutory approvals, planning, quality assurance, and material procurement. This structural design course offers non-structural engineers an introduction to the fundamental concepts of structural design.
Participants in this structural design training will gain knowledge of the behavior of materials under load, the selection of construction materials, and basic design principles for various structures. The emphasis is on reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and steel structures while briefly touching upon masonry and timber.
Targeted Groups:
- Building Inspectors.
- Project Managers.
- Construction Supervisor's importance.
- Municipal Officials.
- Architects.
- Quantity Surveyors.
- Insurance Surveyors.
- Concrete Technologists.
- Reinforcement Detailers.
- Structural Fabricators.
- Building Maintenance Personnel.
- Structural Rehabilitation Staff.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this structural design course, the participants will be able to:
- Fully understand the role of the structural engineer.
- Comprehend the behavior of structural members under loading.

Understanding Structural Design for Non-Structural Engineers:
In this course on structural design for non-structural engineers, participants will understand advanced structural design, basic structural design concepts, and the definition of structural design. They will also learn how to navigate and use various structural design tools.
Participants will be encouraged to explore strategic structural design methods, allowing them to engage with structural design processes, solutions, and analyses. Those interested in formally recognizing their skills can inquire about structural design certification or certificate options.
The structural design course will detail the types of structural design and offer insights into non-engineered structures. Participants will have a clearer understanding of structural design, enabling them to effectively apply the principles of structural design to their respective projects.
