JavaScript is disabled! Continuing Education Five-Part Webinar SeriesAre you looking for an introduction to or review of the basic principles of structural steel design?This course, which consists of five 1.5-hour-long sessions, is best suited for those who have not designed in structural steel for some time or those who feel a basic review will improve their overall capabilities.The first session (R1) is a recorded session from the Night School version of this course. It will include an introduction to structural safety and the principles of LRFD and ASD design, loads and load combinations, the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, and structural analysis.Subsequent live sessions will cover tension member design, compression members, bending members, and combined axial forces and bending.All completed examples will be presented in both ASD and LRFD in the handout material, although the presentation may only discuss only one approach. The AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th edition, is a highly recommended text for this class. The presentations will make frequent reference to specific sections of the 2016 AISC Specification. Examples will use data taken from the Manuals and illustrate the use of design tables.The author's textbook, Unified Design of Steel Structures, 3rd Edition, 2017, written with co-authors Judy Liu and AISC's very own Charles Carter, will form the basis of this course and may be a useful resource for building on the course.This webinar series is an abridged encore presentation of the popular Night School course of the same name. Date: 2/25/2021 to 3/18/2021 Duration: 1.5 hours per session Location: Live Webinar Series PDH Credits: 1.5 PDH per Session (Up to 7.5 PDH) Registration Deadline: 2/25/2021 10:00 a.m. Connection Instructions: Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email containing your receipt, a link to access the webinar, dial-in audio instructions, and a link to a PDF handout of slides. Sessions This lecture is a recorded session, immediately available upon registration for the course for 5-session package registrants.A brief history of the Specification and Manual will be provided as well as an overview of the organization of the current Specification and Manual. The lecture will then discuss the elements of structural safety with an emphasis on the principles of LRFD, variability of load effect and variability of strength. Resistance factors for LRFD and safety factors for ASD will be discussed as well as calibrating ASD to LRFD. The session will discuss steel as a material, various steel shapes,
