Hello peers!
Medior naval engineer here, with fairly good experience on ship strength (local and global) and relevant class rules.
The thing is that my new position is within the offshore sector and I need to make use of structural design and related codes,e.g. AISC/EC3, especially connection assessment. Unfortunately, on the job training is not an option since my seniors are not really into structural engineering.
I ask your kind help to find a way to self teach structural engineering, be it books, exercises, software to try and buy. Till now, merely reading the Codes hasnt helped much, especially to figure out the practical matters of designing and checking even simple structures and connections (weld/bolt).
thank you in advance!
