Course Introduction
Structural Steel Design in Oil and Gas
Steel is the most used construction material in the USA for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the world because of its many favorable characteristics, including high strength, high stiffness, ductility and toughness, speed of erection, competitive cost, etc. Its use in the Middle East region has been mostly confined to industrial plants, offshore structures, and warehouses. The lower construction time and it can be use as a temporary structure make it competitive than the concrete structure.
Design of steel structures has widely been based on the Allowable Stress Design based on the AISC. Many designers and fabricators still use the old allowable stress techniques.
The petroleum industry is interested in modifying the structure in case of offshore structures' topsides or in the onshore facilities to carry more load or add more machines, so the management of change must be considered and important.
Course objective
- Intended to overview of modern procedures for the design and erection of structural steel buildings, especially for the oil and gas industry.
- Increase the knowledge and assist in using new tools for designing and constructing the steel structure for a new project or modifying the existing one.
- The interaction between concrete and steel will be defined. The anchor bolts, machine skid design, construction, and installation will be discussed theoretically and practically.
- It will illustrate real design and construction issues that may assist the designer in conceiving of a structural steel system that is safe, economical, and constructible.
- The rule of thumb is to check the steel structure or to modify the deck in case of offshore and onshore structures.
