Course Description
This course is designed to introduce the behavior and design of steel structural members according to the limit states design concept. The behaviour and design of the following topics will be discussed: (1) Steelmaking, Steel Properties, Design Philosophy, (2) Torsion of beam (St. Venant torsion, warping torsion of W-shapes, solution of torsion problem), (3) Beam (Beam classifications - Bending moment and shear capacity. Lateral torsional buckling), (4) Plate Girders (Local buckling, plastic action and moment redistribution, lateral buckling under uniform moment and special loading cases, inelastic effects, elastic and inelastic shear behavior of plate girder), (5) Axially Loaded Members (Elastic and inelastic buckling theories, effect of residual stresses and initial curvature, local buckling), (6) Beam-Columns (In-plane behavior, ultimate strength, out-of-plane behavior, elastic and inelastic stability, local buckling). Students are expected to obtain advance knowledge about the design and failure mode of steel structural members after finished this course.
Intended Learning Outcomes
CILO-1: Identify and explain the behavior and failure mode of various steel members in constructions under different loading conditions.
CILO-2: Apply design equations and procedures for calculating the design capacity of various steel members in constructions.
CILO-3: Apply design equations and procedures for calculating the deformation of various steel members in constructions.
