Prerequisite(s): AECT 360

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This course is a study of steel as a material, including analysis and design of steel framed members in building structures in conformance with AISC code. Typical structural components include tension members, compression members, beams, welded and bolted connections, trusses, and frames. Use of computer software to solve problems is included.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:

Know and understand the fundamental principles of structural steel design for buildings.
Be able to layout and design structural steel-framed building systems and components for typical low-rise commercial, industrial, residential and institutional buildings.
Layout and design of building components using light-gage cold-formed steel products
Become familiar with the A.I.S.C Manual of Steel Construction, latest ed.
