In addition to part -I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives
further specific details regarding the course.

Course No. : CE F343


Course Title : Design of Steel Structures
Instructor-in-charge : DIPENDU BHUNIA
Instructor : G. Muthukumar, Dr. Rajesh Kumar

1. Scope and Objective of the Course


The course intends to impart adequate analysis and design skills to common type of Civil Engineering
Steel Structures as found in practice. An understanding of theory, loads and stresses to be used as per
Indian standards for steel design work will be developed. The course deals with designing of tension,
compression, and flexural members of steel. Bolted and welded connections will be designed. Limit
State Method of design will be pursued. In addition, design of steel trusses; plate girder, Gantry girder,
and Purlins will be covered. Plastic design of steel structures will also be introduced.
At the end of the semester, students will be able to analyze and design the tension members,
compression members, flexural members of the framed structures such as trusses and rigid-jointed
plane frame members using both the Limit State Design Approach and Plastic Design Approach. Most,
importantly, students will be exposed to compute based design problems on Industrial Building
structures.
