The course "EUROCODE 3 Masterclass: Deep Dive in Steel Design with RFEM 6!" offers comprehensive training for engineers, structural planners, and construction experts who wish to deepen their knowledge in the design and calculation of steel structures according to the standards of EUROCODE 3. This course will immerse you in the principles of steel structure design and assessment using RFEM 6 and the appropriate add-ons.

What you can gain from this course:

Module 1 provides a solid introduction to EUROCODE 3 and gives you an overview of the related sub-standards. You will also receive initial information about the add-ons relevant for design.

Module 2 focuses on the basics of the safety concept and materials. It briefly introduces you to the safety concept and highlights initial differences between the main standard and national annex.

Module 3 covers topics relevant to structural calculation. Various methods for stability proofs are demonstrated, along with the necessary prerequisites. This includes the approach of imperfections, elastic and plastic structural calculations, and the consideration of connection stiffnesses.

Module 4 gives you an overview of cross-section proofs and stress verifications, a critical component in steel construction. Learn how to perform cross-section proofs and shear buckling verifications.

Module 5 deals with stability proofs. In addition to explaining the components of the proof formulas, the focus is on their application limits. You will thus receive a clear guideline on the choice of proof format.

Module 6 addresses verifications in the Serviceability Limit State (SLS). This section is mainly practical and shows you the necessary inputs in the add-on.

Module 7 rounds off the course with practical examples, tips, and tricks from our experts that are essential for steel construction projects and daily work with RFEM.

What to expect:

• Practical lessons that guide you through real calculation examples.
• Models to download, allowing you to apply and consolidate what you've learned.
• Expert tips based on years of experience and current best practices.
• Access to a community of professionals for support and networking opportunities.
• Flexible learning that fits your schedule and pace.

This course is aimed at professionals who wish to deepen their expertise in the design of steel structures and develop their skills in line with European standards. Upon completion of the course, you will not only master the theory of EUROCODE 3 but also have the competence to implement these standards into practical, efficient, and innovative construction solutions.

Have fun and enjoy the course!
