Course Objective
Introduce students to structural codes of practice; enable students to design steel and reinforced concrete members, including the solution of “open-ended” problems.
Topics
Design of Tension Members
Yield and fracture
Bolted connections
Welded connections
Design of steel beams
With lateral support
Lateral – torsional buckling
Design of Steel Columns
Axial load
Beam - columns
Design of Reinforced Concrete Beams
Strength theory
Analysis for flexure
Design for flexure
Deflections
Development lengths
Beam design project
Columns
Instructor's Note: The students are expected to know how to use a spreadsheet although they can get by without that. It is also desirable if the student knows MATHCAD. Knowledge of word processing and structural analysis software are optional.
