Classes begin January 30 for AISC’s new Night School course, “Design of Industrial Buildings.” The course comprises eight, 90-minute live webinar sessions, which all take place on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. ET. Lessons will be split between the design of buildings without overhead cranes, and structures with light duty and heavy duty overhead cranes. Critical design issues and design approach techniques will be discussed, and calculations are presented in a manner that serve as a teaching tool for engineers. A complete design example (anchor rods to roofing) of a 50-ton overhead crane building will also be illustrated.
Here’s a look at the full schedule:
Session 1: January 30 - Design Criteria
Session 2: February 6 - Economic Considerations
Session 3: February 13 - Lateral Load Systems and Details
Session 4: February 27 - Preliminary Design Procedures
Session 5: March 6 - Crane Girder Design and Frame Analysis
Session 6: March 13 - Frame Member and Connection Design
Session 7: March 27 - Transfer Crane Girder and Longitudinal Building Bracing Design
Session 8: April 3 - Building Envelope and Bracing Design
