ABOUT THE COURSE
In response to the greatly appreciated course held on Steel Design in June 2012 and the
feedback for more topics to be covered in Steel Design, CEAI-WRC and INSDAG once again have
again painstakingly put together the sequel to the first Course.
The first course was basically limited to Limit State Design although it did touch upon some of
the topics which created an appetite for more knowledge. This Course takes off from that and
covers those topics and more as per the feedback that was given and also those which have
become important due to events and requirements in the past three years. Presentations will
be made by experts in the field.
Engineers are the torch bearers for all development works and thus there is the need for them
to keep abreast with the latest technology so that what they design, construct/ fabricate &
install are as per the codal requirements and sound engineering practices. The intent of the
course is to cover advanced topics which will aid engineers in being able to perform their work
and deliver world class engineered structures.
