What you will learn

Students will be able to model , analyze and design the Pipe Rack in STAAD Pro

They will be able to understand how the steel structures are designed.

They will be able to calculate Dead Load, Product Loads, Thermal Loads and Wind Loads as per ASCE 07-10

Valuable Resources that they can use in their Regular Design Calculations

Why take this course?

Pipe racks are structures in petrochemical, chemical and power plants that are designed to support pipes, power cables and instrument cable
trays.The design requirements found in the US building codes are not clear on how they have to be applied to pipe racks.This course summarizes the US design code requirements and industry practice design criteria, design loads and other design consideration for pipe racks that are being followed in the Design offices.

In this course, your trainer takes you through designing process of pipe racks in the structural engineering software STAAD Pro. Modelling the pipe rack and applying loads can be a complex and confusing in beginning, but your trainer breaks it down into bite-sized pieces and teaches it in plain English. No prior experience in STAAD Pro and Steel structures is required to get the most out of this course.

You will start with the absolute basics i.e. calculating loads on the pipe racks.Your trainer proceeds step by step through the process of modelling columns, beams, stringers, bracing,applying dead loads, product loads, thermal loads, wind loads.Next, he proceeds further on how to assign the properties to the structural steel members, assigning the releases and supports.Final stage shall be how to analyze and assign the design commands in STAAD Pro. He finish the lecture by explaining how user can check the bending moment, shear forces and reactions in the steel columns.

What Will I Learn?

How to design AISC360,ASCE 07-10 and ACI 318-14 code compliant steel structural pipe racks.

Requirements to learn this course

A computer with either Windows, Mac with STAAD Pro software installed.

The course met my requirements. The things I liked most about it were: 1. Detailed course notes in easy lucid language and file format. 2. Use of variety of codes for load combination and design parameters and checks. 3. Basic idea of STAAD is also included.

El curso es muy breve y bastante basico, hay ciertos temas en los¿ que tal vez seria correcto profundizar, y el expositor habla muy rapido para tratarse de una clase en ocasiones es demasiado rapido sin embargo es bueno para dar inicio y conocer un poco sobre el tema.

this is very basic course for introduction of Piperack , those who are fresher and want exposure in oil and gas field this will be beneficial

I felt the explanation in tutorials are fast. I felt Base Plate design & Optimization should be taught. The end of the tutorial is not satisfactory.

This explanations were precise and one can easily understand the concepts of different types of loads imposed on a Pipe Rack Structure during its lifetime.

I found many things missing like seismic analysis. Wind load is applied only in one direction. Anchor/Guide load have not been applied. The few excel files are not fully accessible like the load combination one. One major thing is that, the design is done in AISC ASD code which is rarely used. Not all the "commands" have been discussed properly. Although, apart form the above mentioned things, the lecture series is very helpful and I have learnt a lot so I am thankful to the speaker for making this. I would request the speaker to make a lecture series for pipe rack design using IS codes, a lecture series for Shed Design and a lecture series for the design of Technological Structures.

Ce correspondait parfaitement à mes attentes. J'ai appris beaucoup de détails que je connaissais pas.

Good course. Unfortunately I can't find the excel data table that is mentioned in the webinar. I would like to review some of the details in that excel file.

Thanks. I enjoyed the videos, there's just a small note that I will check again in the videos and ask about in the discussion area/dashboard, it is about the K of the columns (near the bracing) in the short direction,, shouldn't these columns be considered as (sway columns) as there is no bracing connected to them in the short direction of the structure?

Good Details about the Structural Steel How to Design the steel structure using STAAD Pro. How to Design for Dead load, product (live) load, thermal load & wind load, with formulas. good to learn.

More emphasis shall be given on Design Parameters. Here only few design parameters are explained and applied. But For beams LX, Ly & Lz are important parameters which need to be applied to structure. Also brief introduction of DFF and DJ1, DJ2 is required because it is must parameter.

Instructor is very responsive to the questions asked. Provide clear and detail answer, and being very helpful. The lecture is clear, and easy to be understand, also very well apply to the real world design case. A very short course, with a lot of learning point.

This course explains a lot about the practical understanding of the steel structures, which is really hard to find in any textbooks. Thanks a lot for this course.
