Synopsis

This book presents the design of steel structures and defines the approaches for various design codes, including AISC, BS, and EC3. It also discusses the theoretical background for the design of different structural members and provides illustrative examples of each, as well as structural connections, base plates with anchor bolt designs, and more. In addition, best practices for on-site construction methods, including receipt of materials, quality control and assurance, and inspection, are also presented. Non-destructive testing methods are discussed.

Features:

• Provides coverage of American (AISC) and European (EC3) structural codes
• Examines various types of structural loading, including dead loads, live loads, wind, seismic loads/earthquakes, snow, and more
• Includes numerous practical examples as well as ancillary Excel worksheets to aid in design calculations
• Welding process, quality control and construction method statement by a case study.

About the Author

Mohamed A. EI-Reedy's background is in structural engineering. His main area of research is the reliability of concrete and steel structures. He has provided consultation for different oil and gas industries in Egypt and to international companies, such as the International Egyptian Oil Company (IEOC) and British Petroleum (bp). Moreover, he provides different concrete and steel structure design packages for residential buildings, warehouses, and telecommunication towers. He has participated in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and natural gas liquid (NGL) projects with international engineering firms. Currently, Dr. El-Reedy is responsible for reliability, inspection, and maintenance strategies for onshore concrete structures and offshore steel structure platforms. He has performed these tasks for hundreds of structures in the Gulf of Suez in the Red Sea. Dr. El-Reedy has consulted with and trained executives at many organizations, including the Arabian American Oil Company, bp, Apache, shell, Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA), the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, King Saudi’s Interior Ministry, Qatar Telecom, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO), Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), and PETRONAS Malaysian oil company. He has taught technical courses on repair and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures and steel structures worldwide, especially in the Middle and Far East. Dr. El-Reedy has written numerous publications and presented many papers at local and international conferences sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American Petroleum Institute. He has published many research papers in international technical journals and has authored eleven books on offshore structure, asset integrity management, total quality management, economic management for engineering projects, and repair and protection of reinforced concrete structures, advanced concrete materials, onshore structure design in petroleum facilities, and concrete structure reliability and others. He received his bachelor’s degree from Cairo University in 1990, his master’s degree in 1995, and his PhD from Cairo University in 2000.
