APEGBC is pleased to offer this seminar in partnership with the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC).
This seminar provides an introduction to the basics of bolting and welding steel structures with emphasis on practical and economical solutions. Although not a connection design course per se, participants will come away with a solid understanding of the materials, products, specifications, installation, field challenges and design methodologies for connecting structural steel components.
High Strength Bolting
Design and specification of a bolted joint requires the structural engineer to select the type of fasteners, to understand how they are to be designed, and to set out acceptable methods of installation and inspection. The purpose of this course is to provide the engineer with the information necessary to select suitable high-strength bolts, specify the methods of their installation and inspection, and to understand the basis of the design rules in CSA S16.
Welding
This segment of the course covers weld joints, weld types, criteria for selecting weld types, matching and under-matching filler metal strength, and the procedures needed to determine welding capacity. Principles of welded connection design will be reviewed, along with case studies and solutions to field problems. Following the course, the participant should be able to solve welding problems, or otherwise know when it is necessary to consult a welding expert.
High Strength Bolting
- Installation and inspection of high strength bolts
- Bolts in shear
- Slip-critical and bearing-type joinings
- Tension connections
- Tension and shear block
- Shear lag
- Fatigue of bolted and riveted joints
- Re-use of high strength bolts
- Joints with both bolts and welds
- Design example (gusset plate)
Welding
- Welding codes and standards
- Weld joints and welding symbols
- Metal arc welding processes
- Welding metallurgy
- Residual stress and distortion
- Welding design considerations
- Moment connections and HSS
- Weld fault characteristics
- Welding inspection and testing
- Field problem solution
