Catalog Description

General concepts in steel design. Design methods, codes, safety, and 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 Objectives

The main objective of this course is to introduce the students to the basic principles of design and to fundamentals of behavior of steel structures. Students utilize their basic knowledge of strength of materials and structural analysis to design a structure using steel as a material.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Interpret the material behavior of steel under uniaxial and multiaxial states of stress,
2. Express how the concept of structural safety is employed in the design of steel members by following different design philosophies,
3. Design steel members for uniaxial loading, pure bending, and combined bending and axial load using related codes,
4. Design connections and fasteners in steel structures.
