Course Objectives
This course is one of the main courses in which design concepts will be introduced. The course will teach basic principles of design and fundamentals of steel structures. Students will utilize their knowledge of mechanics, strength of materials and structural analysis to design a structure using steel as a material.
Course Content
General concepts in steel design. Design methods, codes, safety, serviceability. Behavior of steel structures. Tension members, compression members, beams, beam-columns, types and behavior of connections in steel structures, bolted and welded connections.
Course Learning Outcomes
- State how the concept of structural safety is employed for steel design
- Describe the material behavior of steel
- Design steel members for tension
- Design steel members for compression
- Design steel members for bending
- Design steel members for combined bending and axial load
- Design simple bolted connections
- Design simple welded connections
