 Steel in today’s construction
Due to the globally emerging era of technology and connectivity,
the steel industry has already begun adopting novel steel
modular frame systems for use on construction sites.
Ultimately, steel is well-suited for modular construction.

 Steel in construction
Steel construction is most often used in
• Non Building structures- Onshore/Offshore structures
in Oil & Gas Fields, Pipe Rack structures, Equipment
Support Structures, Lattice Tower for power
transmission lines etc.

• Building structures like High rise buildings, Industrial

buildings, Residential buildings, Bridges etc.
 Steel sections
• Rolled steel sections
Available market form sections like I,W, T, Angle, Channel, Tube, Pipe,
Flat.

• Built up sections
Fabricating a section of required specifications using available sections.
For an instant, in thermal power plant, the equipment's
structures are
• Coal Conveyor
• Coal Hopper
• Coal Crusher
• Pump
• Boiler
• Bottom Ash Hopper
• Steam Turbine
• Step-up Transformer
• Electrical Generator
• Transmission Line

 Loading types and conditions
Dead Load
 Self weight of member
 Empty weight of pumps
 Empty weight of boiler
 Pipe support & grating
 Instrumentation panels & junction box etc.,
Live Load
Wind load
Earthquake load

Any other Loads???????????????

• Fluid Load
 Liquid load of tank (Depends on density of liquid or
fluid) , (Hydro test load)
• Temperature load
• Friction load (stress)
Load combinations as per IS 800-2007
What is onshore structures & offshore structures?

Structures which are related to oil and gas

industry are differentiated into onshore and
offshore respectively.

Depending on the environmental conditions and

loading we are going to see how it can be
analysed & designed in the following session.
 Offshore Structures
Offshore platforms are used for exploration of Oil and Gas
from under Seabed and processing.

Once the structure has been designed for offshore
environment, all the members and connections must be
analyzed for lifting and transportation forces.

So that the structure can resist the load which arise during
lifting through crane, transportation to the site, and
erection process.

 Steel connections
Once the structure has been designed the next important
design is connections.

Each members should be connected in order to resist the

shear force and moment, so that the entire structure acts
homogenously.

Like structural analysis and designing, connection

designing is also very important phenomena
Before designing the connections, you have to know about
STEEL CONNECTIONS TYPES
Based on force that acts
 Shear connections
 Moment connections
 Moment-shear connections
Based on connections
 Bolted connections
 Welded connections
 Types of bolted connections

 Types of bolts

 Types of welded connections

 Symbols of bolted and welded connections

 Minimum specifications for bolts, weld, gusset plate,

splice plate, stiffener plate, Base plate as per codal
provisions.

 Selection of connection types under certain conditions.
