Steel Structural Engineering Trainer at AEXL Algebra Excellence. I am a structural engineering professional with hands-on experience across steel design, project execution, operations, and heavy-lifting management. I train students and professionals in practical structural design concepts, site execution workflow, and industry-relevant software tools used in real steel projects.
Beginner Steel Sturcture Design & Analysis

About The Course
This basic structural steel design course takes you from the fundamentals to intermediate-level checks in a practical and easy-to-follow format. You will learn steel grades, section properties, load combinations, beam and column basics, connection checks, and simple reporting methods. The course blends theory, hand calculations, and software awareness so you can understand how real steel design work is done in practice. It is ideal for learners who want a strong foundation before moving into advanced consultancy or project-based design roles.
Why This Course Stands Out
PROJECT-DRIVEN: Every module includes practical examples that build into a final design exercise.
MULTI-TOOL WORKOFFICE: Learn the workflow using STAAD.Pro and design your first project
INDUSTRY ALIGNED: Content is structured to match real steel design practice and consultancy requirements.
SMALL BATCHES & MENTOR SUPPORT: Get personal feedback, doubt clearing, and focused guidance throughout the course.
Detailed Curriculum
• Steel grades and common section types
• Basic material behavior and units
• Dead, live and basic lateral loads
• Simple combinations and safety factors
• Area, centroid, moment of inertia, section modulus
• How to pick a section for a basic span

• Slenderness ratio and safe practice for short columns
• Bolted vs welded basics
• Simple shear bolt checks and end-plate/sheer connection sketches
• Single-bay frame behaviour
• Manual approximate methods for internal moments
• Step-by-step solved problems for beam, column and connection
• How to format a short, clear calculation report
• Small design exercise covering beam + column + connection
• Feedback session, doubt clearing and certificate guidance
Learning Outcomes
- Confidently model simple steel structures in 2D/3D
- Apply dead, live, and basic lateral load combinations
- Understand section behavior, supports, and internal forces
- Design simple beams, columns, bracing, and basic connections
- Prepare short calculation notes and present project work professionally
Who Should Enrol
- Civil and structural engineering graduates
- Fresh graduates who want practical steel design skills
- Site and design engineers entering structural roles
- BIM/detailing engineers who want connection and fabrication knowledge
- Architects and project engineers who want better structural coordination

Student Reviews
Was never confident with connection design before, after the STAAD.Pro & IDEA StatiCa course, I can now model beam to column joints without guessing.
The PROKON session saved me from hours of manual load checks feel like my workflow is much faster now.
IDEA StatiCa connection design was confusing until the instructor walked us through each step that made a big difference.
Zero steel detail experience coming in the capstone project forced me to apply everything, and I walked away with a solid project in hand.
