CEEGR-5230 : Advanced Steel Design
Civil Engineering | College of Science and Engineering | GR
Design of the main structural elements of a standard steel building. Topics include: 1) steel deck floor systems including composite and non-composite steel floor systems, 2) bolted and welded shear-tab connections, 3) so-called 'gravity' columns, 4) lateral resisting structural systems including moment frames, reduced-beam sections, eccentric and concentrically braced frames, and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). Emphasis on current construction practices and how constraints of economy, sustainability, and constructability factor into a structural engineer's design process.
