STEEL-STR-008

INTRODUCTION

Following the successful launch of STEEL-STR-007: Design of PEB Structures – Part 1, which focused on warehouse-type PEB structures without cranes, we are pleased to introduce the next module in this series – STEEL-STR-008: Design of PEB Structures with Crane (Part 2). This unique online course is designed to address the structural design of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) equipped with cranes, covering both fundamental concepts and advanced applications. The course will commence from 7-AUG-25.

The course will begin with essential theoretical concepts related to elastic stability in slender steel structures, providing a strong foundation for understanding the behavior of such systems under various loading conditions. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion on cranes, including functional requirements, types of loads, common issues in crane runway design, and the pros and cons of various detailing strategies.

Participants will then be guided through a case study for the design of a 20T crane girder, which will lead into a comprehensive case study for the design of an entire PEB structure (29.5m × 97.5m) equipped with a crane. This case study will cover every critical step in the design process, including:

• Selection of structural system, preliminary sizing of members, geometry modeling, gravity load application, wind load and earthquake load calculations, load combinations, second-order elastic analysis, design and manual verification of typical members, Connection design, Base plate and foundation design, etc.

The structural design will be carried out in accordance with IS 800:2007, utilizing STAAD Pro and RAM Connection for modeling and design.

Given the frequent queries we receive regarding the use of American codes for design in India, the course will also include a dedicated segment on ASCE 7-16, covering different risk categories, importance factors, wind and seismic load calculations, and load combinations for both LRFD and ASD. This will be followed by a detailed discussion on AISC 360-22, covering section classification, direct analysis method, effective length method, horizontal notional loads, design of slender members, member design under combined forces

As part of the learning process, participants will be encouraged to take up an exercise problem, where they can define their own structure geometry and inputs. This approach will allow for a variety of case studies, enriching peer discussions and exposure. Each participant will design the structure first as per IS 800:2007, and subsequently using ASCE 7-16 and AISC 360-22, facilitating a comparative learning experience.

This course covers a wide range of concepts—from basic principles to advanced design techniques—and offers a valuable platform to engage in discussions on current gray areas in industrial practices related to PEB design.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?

• The course is designed by the experienced engineer (Mr. Bhavin Shah) who has 25 years of experience in the field of structural engineering.
• The entire course is designed from the practical aspects which can be readily used in the real projects.
• The course is designed to have an interactive mode so that the problems / doubts of the participants can be addressed effectively.
• A WhatsApp group will be created for quick communication between the participants and the faculty. The participants will be able to share the discussion points, doubts, queries, etc. in the group. The details in the group will be collated for further discussion in the next sessions.
• All sessions will be recorded, and the recordings will be shared within a few hours of each session. If a participant misses a live session, they can watch the recording before attending the next one. After going through the recording, participants are encouraged to share their doubts or queries in the designated WhatsApp group, which will be addressed in the following session.
• If attending the live sessions is not convenient, participants have the option to complete the entire course in a self-paced mode.
• Case study of PEB structure with crane will be discussed from geometry generation to the foundation design.
• Participants will be encouraged to select an alternative PEB structure geometry and, as the course progresses, develop the model, perform analysis, and carry out the design. Their findings or any queries arising from this exercise will be discussed during the sessions.
• Recording will be available with all the participants for 180 days.
• Certificate will be issued on successful completion of the course (exercise problem with analysis and design as per IS & American code to be submitted through email: steel@sqveconsultants.com ).
• The course is designed as a process of learning together.
