2 COURSE OBJECTIVES This course is intended to fill the gap in knowledge that developed because steel-framed buildings are so seldom encountered in South Africa. The knowledge gap relates not only to the big issues such as composite construction and how to decide on the framing lay-out, but also to the practical issues such as accommodating underfloor services and other non-structural elements. And then there are those additional and sometimes unexpected things such as floor vibrations and fire resistance. The course aims in the first instance to provide structural engineers with the necessary knowledge and insight to design structures for office buildings, parking structures and other buildings of several storeys, consisting of steel structures with concrete floors. The second objective is to equip all members of the professional and construction teams to handle such projects effectively, from concept to completion. WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE COURSE Structural engineers and technologists, preferably with some experience in the design of buildings should benefit from the whole course Other people who are involved in multi-story buildings architects, building contractors, steelwork contractors, quantity surveyors and mechanical engineers should benefit at least from parts of the course

3 COURSE CONTENTS SPEAKER The process of designing and constructing a steel-framed building Loads, modelling and analysis Structural systems and lay-outs, including the lateral support system Composite Construction Practical issues such as pouring concrete and levelling of floor s, support of facades,accommodating underfloor services, making openings in slabs or beams, deck details around columns, etc. Quality assurance Seismic design Fire resistance Floor vibrations Interface with non-structural aspects The course is intended to be very practical and to deal with all the issues of importance when designing and building steel-framed buildings. The theory of core subjects like composite construction will be covered in some detail, while subjects like fire resistance or floor vibrations can onlly be dealt with superficially in the time available. References and additional information will be provided where needed.

4 PRESENTERS Dr Hennie de Clercq Research Fellow University of Stellenbosch Hennie has a BSc (1968) and BSc(Hons) (1972) in Civil Engineering from the University of Pretoria and a MS (1973) and PhD (1975) from the University of California (Berkeley). He spent most of his career in consulting engineering and the remainder as CEO of the SA Institute of Steel Construction. He is the principal author of the updated SAISC Red Book, the Green Book and several other publications. He was also lead author of SANS and various other standards and is a member of the committee responsible for the updating of the Canadian steel design code S16. Mr Amanuel Gebremeskel Technical Director Southern African Institute of Steel Construction Amanuel oversees technical publications and research for the SAISC and chairs the SANS Seismic Sub-committee for the South African Bureau of Standards. He has been designing buildings and co-authoring national codes, engineering books and articles in South Africa and the United States for the past 17 years. He is registered as a Structural Engineer in the United States and received degrees in Engineering and Business Administration from the University of Minnesota. He is an honorary life member of the American Institute of Steel Construction and of the Southern African Institute of Steel Construction.
