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.
LRFD Design of Structural Steel Members, Built-Up Compression Members, Composite Flexural Members, Seismic Design
| 1. | Perform the design of steel tension, compression,and flexural members following the Load andResistance Factor Design (LRFD) philosophy |
| 2. | Understand the behavior of steel built-upmembers under concentrically applied axial loadsand come up with the most efficient member sizesto resist a given axial load. |
| 3. | Understand the mechanics through which acomposite flexural member resists the appliedloading, and be able to determine the requiredstrength at different components in a flexuralcomposite member (i.e., steel beam, concrete slab,and shear connectors) to resist a given loading |
| 4. | Determine the dimensions of typicalbolted/welded connections between steelstructural elements required to resist given loads |
| 5. | Make recommendations regarding the type oflateral load resisting system to use in a givenstructure to resist seismic effects |
