Objective of the course:
To explain and discuss design criteria for steel structure, learn different design
philosophy, various load acting on steel structure.
To design various steel structural members like connection, tension member,
compression member, lacing, battening and column bases as per BIS.
Course Outcome:
Upon completion of the course, the student shall be able to
CO1: Classify loads on a typical steel structures and its properties.
CO2: Identify the different failure modes of bolted and welded connections, and
determine their design strengths.
CO3: Design tension members with bolted and welded connection.
CO4: Design compression member with bolted and welded connections.
CO5: Understand the design concept of lacing, battening and design the column
bases such as slab base and gusseted base.
CO6: Design the beam for various support conditions.
