Engineering practitioners who design and specify fabricated steel structures need a practical understanding of steel materials, the processes and practices of welding, cutting and forming, and weld testing and quality control. This knowledge is essential if fabricated steel structures are to be economical, practical and fit-for-purpose. This course is theory based with welding demonstrations only.
Few such professionals have the opportunity to gain substantial exposure to fabrication workshops or testing activities. This short course fills the gap by combining broad theory and practical demonstrations.
On completion you will be able to:
- Design structures to suit specific fabrication processes, procedures and automation.
- Specify non-destructive testing procedures understanding limitations and costs.
- Understand basics of heat-affected zones, residual stresses and distortion.
- Interpret welding procedures and welder qualification records, and material certificates.
- Avoid many common design errors in steel structures.
Study and reference material provided:
An Engineer’s Guide to Fabricating Steel Structures: Volume 1: Fabrication Methods by J Taylor
An Engineer’s Guide to Fabricating Steel Structures: Volume 2: Successful Welding of Steel Structures by J Taylor
It is recommended that attendees bring a copy of AS/NZS 1554 Part 1 Structural Steel Welding – Welding of Steel Structures as this Standard will be used as a reference document during the course.
This is also an affordable opportunity to boost your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours. The course comprises 18 contact hours and counts as Engineers Australia CPD points.
