PEN Subject Title: Structural Design of Steel Prerequisite: Reinforced Concrete
Design

A. Subject Description:
B. This course is concerned with the design of structural steel members subjected to flexure (beams, girders, joists,
lintels, girts, etc.), tension, and compression members (columns), combined stressed members (beam-columns),
riveted, welded, and bolted connections using the Elastic Limit Method, also known as the Allowable Stress
Design (ASD), and the Plastic Limit Method. The course also deals with an introduction to the Load Resistance
Factor Design Method (LRFD) in designing structural steel and Timber Design, Applications and specifications
as applied to buildings, bridges, and other steel and timber structures are also given emphasis. A thorough
knowledge and proficiency in Structural Theory and Strength of materials is imperative.

C. Objectives:
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
1. Identify the constituent materials of steel and timber and understand their behavior.
2. Apply the fundamental principles of Timber and Steel Design.
3. Apply techniques in structural design and analysis of structural wood and steel.
4. Formulate correct design strategies based on theoretical and situational experiences.
5. Formulate correct design strategies based on theoretical and situational experiences.
6. Understand and apply the different types of loads to structures using National Structural Code of the Philippines.
7. Appraised the local code of practice, i.e., the National Structural Code of the Philippines.
8. Identify advanced design methods.

G. Grading System:
The Final Grade is computed as follows:
FG=(0.17×P1) + (0.17×P2) + (0.16×P3) + (0.50×FE)

The 1st Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P1 = (0.50xEXAM) + (0.30xQAVE) + (0.20xASP)

The 2nd Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P2 = (0.50xEXAM) + (0.30xQAVE) + (0.20xASP)

The 3rd Periodical Grade is computed as follows:

P3 = (0.50xEXAM) + (0.30xQAVE) + (0.20xASP)
