Intermediate Behavior of Metal Structures

Catalog description

Building off the introductory course in the topic which focused on the fundamental behavior of structural members, this class will explore the behavior, interaction, and design of more complex structural systems in metal structures. Analyzing, designing, and detailing the transfer of load through the structures and its components will be the focus. The course will cover composite floor systems and columns, bolted and welded connections, built-up members, trusses, bracing for stability, vibration, and other advanced topics.
