Design of Steel Structures
Design of Steel Structures
STRUCTURES
Course Pre-Requisite:
• Solid Mechanics, Structural Analysis
Course Description:
• This is the first and basic course to introduce concept
of structural design and especially for Steel
Structures. Number of problems on design of
different steel member gives idea about designing
process. This course acts as a prerequisite for the
advanced design of steel structures.
Course Learning Objectives:
• 1. To introduce behavior and design of simple steel
structures according to limit state design concept.
• 2. To impart basic knowledge about the design of
steel structural members.
Course Outcomes:
• After the completion of the course the student will be
able to
• CO1 Identify the loads on steel structures as per
Indian Standard codes.
• CO2 Develop the connection details between
different structural elements.
• CO3 Asses the strength of structural members as per
the Indian Standard codes.
• CO4 Choose the members as per the Indian Standard
codes.
Course Contents:
• Unit 1: Introduction to Design of steel structures:
Advantages and disadvantages of steel structures,
Design Philosophy, elastic and plastic properties of
sections, shape factor, stress distribution under
tension, compression, bending and shear, types of
steel structures, grades of structural steel, various
rolled steel sections, loads and load combinations
partial safety factors for load and materials. Types of
bolts & welds, analysis and Design of axially and
eccentrically loaded bolted and welded connections
(subjected to bending and torsion).
• Unit 2: Tension Members: Design of axially loaded
tension members - Common sections, Net area, Types
of tension members - modes of failures - shear lag
effect - IS code provisions and design
