| Course Objectives |
The general objective of this course is to present the advanced topics in structural steel design in detail. These topics include behavior of built-up compression members, analysis and design of composite flexural members, and behavior of various seismic force resisting systems used in structural steel buildings. The students will also be introduced to the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodology through the use of North American design specifications, as well as the Turkish structural steel design standards. Emphasis will be given to the conceptual differences between the Load and Resistance Factor Design and the Allowable Stress Design methodologies. As a part of this course, the students will also be asked to do some computer programming for the solution of homework assignments. The students will also be asked to perform a literature survey on each topic that will be covered in this course, the results of which will be presented to the class in the form of a written report and an oral presentation. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
-
Students will perform the design of steel tension, compression, and flexural members following the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) philosophy.
-
Students will understand the behavior of steel built-up members under concentrically applied axial loads and come up with the most efficient member sizes to resist a given axial load.
-
Students will understand the mechanics through which a composite flexural member resists the applied loading, and be able to determine the required strength at different components in a flexural composite member (i.e., steel beam, concrete slab, and shear connectors) to resist a given loading.
-
Students will determine the dimensions of typical bolted/welded connections between steel structural elements required to resist given loads.
-
Students will make recommendations regarding the type of lateral load resisting system to use in a given structure to resist seismic effects
