Course Description:
The aim of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the iterative nature of design and the fundamental principles on which the analyses are based. The course covers the design and analysis of a steel frame structure for local and global buckling as well as material failure. Wherever possible, analyses are based on fundamental principles which are globally relevant and are assessed through quizzes and/or exams. The course also includes an open ended design topic to develop the students' ability as an engineer and problem solver and which is assessed through the submission of a report. Topics are taken from: steel beams; steel columns; beam-columns, design of bolted and welded connections.
