Dynamic Analysis For RC Structures Under Dynamic Loading In Petroleum Industry

Courses Syllabus

Course Description

• In most industrial projects as petroleum industry in general and power generation and also refinery projects. There are many structures affecting by dynamic load due to machines or due to blast load. The design management procedure for industrial projects will be clarified. All the load that affect the structure building in oil and gas facilities will be illustrated.
• The principal of dynamic analysis will be discussed in detail. This course will focus also about the phenomena of blast load, the dynamic material strength, in addition to the concrete and steel structure design to resist the blast load. The dynamic analysis technique will be presented. In addition the new materials as CFRP to be used to protect the structure from the blast load. The course content relies heavily on the recently revised ASCE publication, Design of Blast Resistant-Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities. In addition to the most practical aspects for different international specification and standard. The case study for design a control room and the specification of doors and windows in blast resistance building will be discussed.
• The concrete and steel structure design principal will be illustrated to select the suitable structure system. The materials response and characteristics will be discussed in the course.

Course Objective

• Familiarize participants with the issues, standards, and procedures used to design structures that resist blast loads.
• Provide participants with in-depth knowledge of the principles of dynamic analysis.
• Develop basic competence in the use of available engineering methods for calculating blast loads and
• dynamic structural response.
• Provide an overview of the design approach used for typical construction materials (steel, concrete, masonry),
• Systems (shear walls and frames), non-structural components (doors and windows).
