Course Content
This e-learning course has been developed to improve designer knowledge and confidence in the correct application of loading codes and appropriate design of industrial/commercial buildings consisting of both hot rolled steel and light gauge cold-formed steel (hybrid construction).
Particular focus will be applied to how both hot rolled steel sections and cold-formed steel sections can be effectively combined to optimize the structural design and reduce overall building costs.
Details will be provided on how to effectively design bracing, a key structural component that has previously failed in high wind events.
The e-learning course is essential for those who wish to remove the stress of designing these wind sensitive structures. If you are an engineer, a builder, or a certifier, you need to come along, inform yourself and be part of the journey towards more efficient outcomes.
This course is a total of 4 hours and 15 minutes long (minus quizzes).
