Steel Structure 2015 Congress is a Steel structures Conference which is comprised of 11 scientific sessions and 82 sub-sessions which have designed to offer comprehensive review and discussion on the current topics and issues of construction steel structure and UAE construction. Construction expo 2015 is one of the few Asia steel 2015 conference which covers all the fields of steel structures and also hosts a world class construction exhibition. In order to make Steel Structure 2015 a highly successful and respected international Structural engineering Conference and to start a globally renowned conference series of steel structure conferences, the organizing committee members decided to conduct the following scientific sessions. 

•  Scientific Sessions:

Steel Structure 2015 is comprised of 11 tracks and 82 sessions designed to offer comprehensive sessions that address current issues in Steel Structure 2015.

Session 1

Construction Engineering: This deals with the designing, planning, construction, and management of infrastructure. Construction engineers learn the designing aspect much like civil engineers and construction site management functions much like construction managers. It includes Automation in construction, Intelligent Construction Site, Advanced construction technologies, Building information modeling, Construction Materials.

Session 2

Structures: It incorporates several areas like Building Structures, Tall Buildings, Offshore Structures, Lightweight Structures, Bridges & transportation structures,  Steel framing structures and Metal Buildings, Steel Fabrication, Composite materials, Smart & adaptive structure, Structural optimization & sensitivity analysis. In engineering and architecture, a structure is a body or assemblage of bodies in space to form a system capable of supporting loads. The effects of loads on physical structures are determined through structural analysis. Structural engineering refers to engineering of physical structures.

Session 3

Steel Construction: It is the process of creating and building infrastructure or a facility. Steel Construction is the construction of a metal structure fabricated with steel for the internal support and for exterior cladding. Study of various engine parameters such as High Performance structural steel, Material Quality &Control, Cold formed steel, Non structured steel, High tensile strength steel) Advanced Steel Casting Techniques, Future trends in steel structures, Advanced sustainable material, Sustainable steel structure, composite construction. So many advantages are there of using steel such as steel is cost effective, energy efficient green product which does not easily warp, buckle, twist or bend, and is therefore easy to modify and offers design flexibility.

Session 4

Environmental engineering: It is the integration of sciences and engineering principles to improve the natural environment, to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to clean up pollution sites. In Steel Structures, environmental engineering or Green construction is used as a practice of erecting buildings and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource efficient.Topics like Environmental modeling, Environmental Protection, Green Construction, Use of Recycled Materials in Construction etc are being extensively researched into various civil and environmental engineering and multi-disciplinary research institutes and research groups.

Session 5

Civil engineering: This is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.It is traditionally divided into several sub-disciplines including architectural engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering, earthquake engineering, transportation engineering, materials engineering,wastewater engineering, coastal engineering, construction engineering, Urban Engineering, GIS, Remote sensing.

Session 6

Safety Management in Construction: Safety management in construction sites is very important business management system designed to manage safety elements in the workplace. Areas like Project management & Quality assurance, Safety management, fall protection, Occupational Safety Standards, Risk analysis, Building Automation system- HVAC are few topics related to safety management in construction.

Session 7

Earthquake Resistance Engineering Structure: Structures which are designed to withstand earthquakes are known as earthquake resistance engineering structures. The goal of earthquake-resistant construction is to erect structures that fare better during seismic activity than their conventional counterparts. Study of various parameters like Structural dynamics, Nonlinear numerical analysis, Material mechanics & characterization, Retrofitting, Earthquake prediction, Earth resistance structural techniques,  Earthquake resistant design via active and passive control, Performance-Based Designs are the major topics of earthquake resistance structural engineering.

Session 8

Digital Structural Designs: Nowadays, modern industrial techniques and operations are almost completely dependent on the use of digital and specialized software. Current trends in digitalization related to construction and steel structure industry are Software Solutions for steel structures, Computer Aided Design, 3D design simulation, software in design and simulation, Next generation techniques in Computer Aided Structural Design.

Session 9

Design and Behavior of Steel Structures and Members: Structural design is the determination of overall proportions and dimensions of the supporting framework and the selection of individual members. Structural steel is a material used for steel construction, which is formed with a specificshape following certain standards of chemical composition and strength. Topics like Fatigue and fracture mechanics in steel, Advanced design techniques, New structural systems, Connection design, Analysis of Semi-rigid Connections,  Structural modeling and analysisare being extensively researched into various structural  engineering and multi-disciplinary research institutes and research groups.
