| Course Description | This course focuses on the design of steel structures. The following major topics are covered: introduction to steel structures, properties of structural steel, design principles for steel structures, loads and load combinations, design codes and specifications, behavior and design of members in tension, failure modes and LRFD/ASD specification for tension members, bolted and welded connections, fundamental buckling analysis, elastic and inelastic buckling of columns, behavior and design of flexural members (beam) without lateral-torsional buckling (LTB), behavior and design of flexural members (beam) with lateral torsional buckling (LTB), behavior of steel members under combined flexural and axial actions (beam-column), system stability consideration, direct and approximate methods for stability. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) comprehend load types, load paths, load combinations, limit states by recognizing uncertainties in the design process; 2) list the major steps in the design process and recognize the constraints that affect the process and products of the design; 3) design tension members and their connections, columns in framed and braced buildings, continuous beams and beams in framed buildings, beam-columns in framed buildings in accordance with the requirements of the current codes and specifications; 4) demonstrate the ability to explain the philosophies related to structural steel design. |
