ST4201 Advanced Steel Structures Syllabus:
ST4201 Advanced Steel Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE:
To study the behaviour of members, connections and industrial buildings
UNIT I GENERAL
Design Philosophies and Design Codes (IS, EC, AISC) – Stability Criteria –Beam- Columns and Frames (Sway and Non-Sway) – Design of members subjected to combined forces – Design of Purlins, Louver rails, Gable column and Gable wind girder.
UNIT II DESIGN OF CONNECTIONS
Types of connections – Welded and Bolted – Design of simple base, Gusseted base and Moment Resisting Base – Flexible Connections – Seated Connections – Unstiffened and Stiffened Seated Connections – Moment Resistant Connections– Clip angle Connections – Split beam Connections.
UNIT III ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
Structural Configurations – Functional and Serviceability Requirements- Analysis and design of different types of trusses – Analysis and design of industrial buildings – Sway and non-sway frames –Gantry Girders –Earthquake resistant design of steel buildings.
UNIT IV PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES
Introduction, Shape factor – Moment redistribution – Beam, Sway, Joint and Gable mechanisms – Combined mechanisms– Analysis of portal frames, Effect of axial force and shear force on plastic moment capacity, Connection Requirements– Moment resisting connections – Design of Straight Corner Connections –Design of continuous beams.
UNIT V DESIGN OF LIGHT GAUGE STEEL STRUCTURES
Introduction to Direct Strength Method – Behaviour of Compression Elements – Effective width for load and deflection determination – Behaviour of Unstiffened and Stiffened Elements – Design of webs of beams – Flexural members – Lateral buckling of beams – Shear Lag – Flange Curling – Design of Compression Members – Wall Studs.
OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Design the steel members such as purlins, gable wind girders subjected to combined forces
CO2 Explain and design different types of steel connections such as welded and bolted flexible as well as moment resisting connections
CO3 Analyze and design industrial structures such as trusses and portal frames subjected to wind and seismic forces
CO4 Explain the effect of axial force and shear force on steel structures and analyse continuous beams and frames using plastic theory
CO5 Evaluate the behaviour and design of compression and flexural Cold-formed Steel members
