Course Objective:
After successfully completing the course, the students will be able to analyse and design different
types of steel members with according to American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
specifications.

Course Outline:
This course includes properties of steel, types of loads, philosophies of the design according to
AISC using ASD method vs. LRFD method, analysis and design of tension and compression
members, design of bolted and welded connections, design of beams for flexure and shear strength
requirements, serviceability requirements for beams, buckling of beams, beams with biaxial
bending moments, design of beams-column, design of column base plate.
