Continuing Education


Steel Erection -- Engineering and Execution

3-Part Webinar Series

Join us to learn from the experts in charge of maintaining the stability of partially built steel structures. 

We'll start by examining the erector's world, from business and contract decisions to get the job done efficiently and safely. 

The second and third sessions will build your knowledge of erection engineering practice for both low-rise and high-rise buildings, respectively.

If you work to design constructable steel buildings or are directly involved in the planning and erection process, this webinar series is a must!

Sessions

Session 1: The Erector's Perspective

Tim Duke

Structural steel erection consists of assembling the building’s frame on site safely and economically. This session will address how steel erection gets done, from securing the work to executing it. Topics include:

  • Erectors’ contractual relationships
  • Estimating
  • AISC Code of Standard Practice
  • Erection schematic
  • Selling an erection project
  • Contracts
  • Prefabrication coordination
  • Erection pre-mobilization planning
  • Prosecuting the work 
Benjamin Miller, SE, PE

This session provides an overview of the steps taken by the Erector’s Engineer to ensure stability of each stage of construction during structural steel erection of low-rise buildings. Topics include:

  • AISC Code of Standard Practice requirements for the EOR and Erector
  • Design standards / design guides
  • The importance of load path
  • Global stability
  • Element stability (i.e., stability of long-span trusses)
  • Temporary bracing / shoring design
  • Staged construction considerations
  • Design examples
Timothy Nelson, SE

Modern steel high-rise structures continue to push boundaries related to height, aspect ratio, and complexity of gravity and lateral systems.  This, coupled with the desire to build higher and faster, creates increasingly common challenges for erection engineers.  Pushing erection ahead of OSHA limits, generating and resisting wind and seismic demands on unclad steel skeletons, and tying tower cranes to slender and partially-completed systems require unique engineering solutions.  In this webinar we will explore these challenges and describe approaches that can facilitate constructing today’s high-rise steel structures.
