421-410 Structural Steel Theory & Design

421-317 Structural Engineering 2

The major objective of this unit is to develop an understanding of the procedures and processes involved in the design of steel structures.

Topics covered include theory behind brittle fracture and fatigue of steel structures, design of steel connections; and a major design project involving a steel structure.

One 2-hour examination (50%) and a design project of approximately 40 pages (50%). Students must pass both the examination and the design project to pass this subject.
