  1. Design Process and factors that consider by Steel Design Engineer Nigeria A structure of steel is a combination of I-Beams, Channels, Angles, Pipe and many more. Because, this structural steel has adequate strength, stiffness, and toughness that ensures the function of the service properly. The design of steel structure consists of several processes that consider by the steel design engineer Nigeria while developing the design of the structure. These methodologies are: 1. Preliminary member sizing of beams. 2. Structural Analysis 3. Design Review 4. Estimation of Cost 5. Structural Drawing and specification 6. Loads for structure analysis and design Selection of Beam Size The first step of the preliminary or detailed design of the structure is the initial sizing of the main structural members. The beam used for steel structure requires satisfying the strength and serviceability provisions of the codes.

  2. Structural Analysis Structural analysis is the determination of the consequences of the load applied to physical structures and their components. Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as Industrial Industries, buildings, bridges, vehicles, furniture. Design Review Steel design engineer Nigeria deliver the design to design review team for review and ensures the quality of structure, whether it is safe or not for services. After completion of the design, it goes to the designing team for the review to check that all the parameters considered by the design engineer must be as per specification that required. Loads For Structure analysis and Design The load analysis, while developing the design of steel structure, is the most important part of the design because it will ensure safety. There are different-

  3. different loads that can affect or can be a reason of structures design failure if they are not considered. a. Live load b. Dead load c. Mean Return Period OR d. Recurrence Interval OR e. Live load of various occupancies f. A reduction in basic design live load g. Impact Load h. Wind Load Factors in the design of steel structures Nigeria While the design of steel structure Nigeria developing a design of a structure than the factors for which design engineer should be aware is described below. 1. Adaptation to site 2. Structural Scheme 3. Structural analysis 4. Proportionality of Members 5. Factor of safety Adaptation to site For instance, If the design engineer developing the structure of a building, then the suitable plan must be created which includes a suitable arrangement of rooms, corridors, stairways, windows, elevators, emergency, fire & safety exits,

  4. etc. And all this plan should be adapted to the site so that it is feasible, accepted aesthetically and at a reasonable cost. This is called functional planning. Structural Scheme The structural scheme is dependent on functional planning. The Structural scheme includes the location of columns in the buildings, it is to be worked out with the functional plan and sufficient space must be anticipated between the finished ceiling and finished floor for the location of columns. Structural Analysis Once loads are defined and the design is laid out, the structural analysis must be performed to determine internal forces that will be produced by various members of the framework. Assumptions must be made and it should be ensured that structure in reality also behaves as it is supposed to. Proportionality of Members The strength of the Steel structure depends on its components. Keep the factor of safety, which is proportional to the members of a structure. Factor of Safety The development of design specifications gives appropriate values of the margin of safety, reliability, and the chance of failure should take into thought of the following subsequent factors. 1. properties Variability of the material with respect to strength and other physical 2. Uncertainty of the expected load 3. The precision with which internal forces are calculated 4. Possibility of corrosion 5. The extent of damage, loss of life
