Structural Design

Catalog description

This course provides the students design application in structures using concrete and steel materials. Following structural analysis, this course presents the steel design concepts of tension and compression members, beams and beam-columns, connections, composite construction, and plate girders. Also, the design principles of reinforced concrete (RC) structures are presented focusing on the limit states design approach. The design of specific RC structural members such as beams, columns, and slabs subject to bending, shear, and combined bending and axial loads is also discussed.
