Description
Introduction to limit states design, common framing systems, design loads, and load path evaluation. Behaviour and design of steel members and connections. Prerequisite: CIV E 372.Learning Outcomes
Determine structural loads and load combinations based on the provisions of the National Building Code of Canada for dead, live, snow, rain, and wind loads;Identify and describe load paths in gravity and lateral load resisting systems in steel framed building structures;
Describe fundamental properties of structural steel and the effects these properties have on structural behavior;
Apply limit states design principles in determining design forces and resistances;
Describe the behaviour and governing failure modes of the principal components of steel structures, including tension members, beams, columns, beam-columns, composite beams, and connections;
Analyse and design steel frames, members, and connections to satisfy serviceability and ultimate limit states criteria in accordance with the provisions of CSA Standard S16.
