This comprehensive course provides a structured, code-compliant pathway for mastering the design of steel structures according to AISC 360-22, as adopted by ADIBC 2013. Through interactive lessons enriched with numerical examples, visual guides, and real Abu Dhabi project applications, participants will learn how to analyze, design, and verify steel members and connections under a variety of loading conditions.
The course emphasizes limit-states design (LSD), member stability, connection detailing, and documentation procedures required for DMT approval. Participants will gain hands-on experience in preparing design calculations, evaluating structural performance, coordinating with the multidisciplinary design process, and producing ADIBC-aligned submission packages.
By bridging theory with real-world scenarios, this program equips engineers, designers, and reviewers with the technical judgment and practical skills needed to deliver safe, economical, and fully compliant steel structure designs in the UAE.

This module introduces the fundamentals of steel structure design, the philosophy behind the AISC 360-22 Specification, and its integration within ADIBC 2013. Participants learn about the limit states design approach, types of loads, and key parameters influencing steel behavior.
This module reviews steel material properties, stress–strain behavior, and classification of cross-sections. It explains how ductility, residual stresses, and slenderness affect design strength and stability.
This module covers the design of tension members including bars, angles, and plates. Participants learn how to determine design strength under yielding and rupture limit states according to AISC 360-22.
This module explains the design of compression members such as columns and struts. It highlights the concepts of buckling, slenderness ratio, and the effective length method in column design.
This module addresses the design of beams under bending, covering flexural strength, lateral–torsional buckling, and plastic moment capacity according to AISC provisions.
This module discusses members subjected to combined axial load and bending, introducing interaction equations and design checks for biaxial bending.
This module focuses on the design of plate girders and built-up sections, covering web buckling, shear strength, and stiffener requirements.
This module presents the design of welded and bolted connections, including tension, shear, and moment connections. Participants learn to apply AISC 360-22 and AWS D1.1 provisions.
This module explains overall structural stability and the role of lateral bracing systems such as moment frames, braced frames, and shear walls in steel structures.
This module summarizes the full design workflow and documentation required for DMT approval. It also includes real case studies demonstrating compliant steel design applications in Abu Dhabi.
