Prereq.: 1.50
Units: 3-2-7
Lecture: MWF 12-1 pm (Room 1-246)
Recitation: Tue 3-5 pm (Room 1-375)


This course shows how the principles of mechanics and structural analysis can be applied in practical design of steel structures. Five basic building blocks of steel structures will be studied: tension members, columns, beams, beam-columns, and connections. The lecture is based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) code from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). In parallel with the regular lectures, a number of analysis/design projects will be conducted in teams.
