Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Steel structures have its parts produced in factories, structural elements such as columns and beams, and the framework are assembled in the site by joining those elements with high-strength bolts or welding. In this course, the student will learn the general characteristics of steel materials, their allowable stress, and joining methods such as high-strength bolts and welding. The students will also learn about section design methods for tension, compression, flexural, and materials under deflection and axial tension, as well as the design methods for beams, column joints, and column-beam joints. The course will give examples of how the content learned relates to design and construction work in the real world.
Style:
The course will follow the textbook. At the end of each chapter, the students will handle reports. At the free assignment, the students will compare the contents learned in class with steel structure they have observed in the city.
Notice:
The course will present as many examples as possible of steel (steel frame) structure. The students should take notes during class and handle our requested assignments. 5 absences will be excused.
