Ce 388 - Fundamentals of Steel Design SPRING TERM 2013-2014: Instructors
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION:
General concepts in design. Design methods, codes, safety, serviceability. Behavior of steel
structures. Tension members, compression members, beams, beam-columns, types and behavior
of connections in steel structures, bolted and welded connections.
This course is one of the main courses in which design concepts will be introduced. The course
will teach basic principles of design and fundamentals of steel structures. Students will utilise their
knowledge of mechanics, strength of materials and structural analysis to design a structure using
steel as a material.
GRADING SYSTEM:
Tutorials, two term tests and a final exam will be given. In the exams students will be allowed to
use some of the related standards and section tables. These documents should not be annotated.
Tutorials 5~10%
Term Tests 45~50 %
Final 40~45 %
There will be only one make-up exam and it will be given just before the final exams. The make-
up exam will cover all of the subjects in the course regardless of the exam missed.
