AR3602 Structural Design of Steel Syllabus:

OBJECTIVES

 To introduce basic structural members in steel.
 To enable an understanding of the types, efficiency and strength, advantages and disadvantages of bolted and welded joints.
 To enable the design of tension members, beams and columns under different conditions.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO STRUCTURAL STEEL

Introduction to properties of steel, Standard sections, advantages and disadvantages of steel as construction material.

UNIT II BOLTED AND WELDED JOINTS

Assumptions. Types of Joints and Failure–Advantages and Disadvantages. Design of joints for axially loaded members using limit state method. (excluding eccentric connections).

UNIT III TENSION MEMBERS

Introduction. Net sectional area. Permissible stresses. Design of axially loaded tension member using limit state method. Lug angle. Tension splice.

UNIT IV COMPRESSION MEMBERS

Introduction. Different sections. Built up section. Design of columns using limit state method (excluding lacing, battening).

UNIT V FLEXURAL MEMBERS

Introduction. Laterally supported and unsupported beams. Design of laterally supported beams using limit state method.

OUTCOME

 Ability to design steel joints for maximum efficiency and strength.
 Ability to design tension and compression members for different conditions by applying the code provisions.
 Ability to design different types of laterally unsupported and supported steel beams for different conditions.
