Course Overview

Domain
Engineering
Format
Modular Certification Course
Duration
3+ months

This module is part of an updated learning pathway stackable towards a Graduate Certificate in Structural Engineering and SIT’s Master of Science in Civil Engineering.

This module will emphasise on design and construction of structural steel members, safety issues, member stability, plastic analysis and overall frame stability.

This module will also provide students with fundamental approaches in designing steel-concrete composite buildings in accordance with EC4. Students will acquire knowledge and skills to perform structural design for composite beams, slabs, columns and joints.

Who Should Attend

  • Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Field Engineers, Project Engineers
  • Construction Managers
Prerequisites
  • Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering

What You Will Learn
