This course is concerned with the design of structural steel members
subjected to flexure (beams, girders, joists, lintels, girts, etc.), tension, and
compression members (columns), combined stressed members (beam-columns), riveted, welded, and bolted connections using the Elastic Limit Method, also known as the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), and the Plastic
Limit Method. The course also deals with the Load and Resistance Factor
Design Method (LRFD) in designing structural steel. Applications and
specifications as applied to buildings, bridges, and other steel structures
are also given emphasis. Thorough knowledge and proficiency in
Structural Theory is imperative.
