CES 3605 - Structural Steel Design

Credits: 3

Course Description: This course provides an in-depth introduction to the analysis and design of steel structures using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methods as specified by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). Topics include the design of tension members, compression members, beams, beam-columns, and bolted and welded connections. Emphasis is placed on understanding material behavior, design procedures, and industry standards. Students will apply theoretical concepts to real-world projects, enhancing their skills in structural design and technical documentation.
