1) To calculate the allowable stress level of steel, and to design the section of a column and a beam.
2) To do the assignment in the design the joint of a beam, and be able to execute the design of various joint.
3) To take photos of actual steel frame structures around the student residence area and to elaborate a report using the knowledge acquired.
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 students will learn about compressed material, bending material, the cross-sectional design method of material to subjected to bending and axial force, and the design method of the beam, column joint, and pillar/ beam joint.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. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
