Training Objectives:

1. To understand the basic principles of structural engineering and its importance in construction.
2. To learn about different types of loads (dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads) and
how they affect structures.
3. To get familiar with common structural materials (steel, concrete, wood, etc.) and their
properties.
4. To develop the ability to analyze simple structural systems and design basic elements like
beams, columns, and foundations.

Methodology:

1. Theory: Introduction to structural engineering concepts such as forces, stress, strain, and
equilibrium. Explanation of different structural elements and systems.
2. Demonstration: Show how to analyze simple structural systems (e.g., beams under load,
simple trusses) and calculate internal forces and moments.
3. Practical Exercises: Allow trainees to calculate loads and design basic structural elements
based on real-world scenarios.
4. Case Studies: Explore examples of structural failures and successes, discussing the causes
and lessons learned.

Safety Guidelines:

1. Follow standard safety protocols when working on construction sites involving structural
elements.
2. Ensure all structural components (e.g., beams, columns, foundations) are correctly installed
and secured before use.
3. Inspect scaffolding and formwork regularly to ensure stability during construction.
4. Always conduct thorough inspections before and after structural load testing to ensure no
safety hazards are present.

Short Notes for Trainers:

1. Emphasize the importance of load distribution and equilibrium in designing stable structures.
2. Discuss the significance of material properties, such as tensile strength and elasticity, in
structural design.
3. Focus on the basic principles of structural analysis (e.g., bending, shear forces) for trainees to
grasp the fundamentals.
