CE 388 – FUNDAMENTALS OF STEEL DESIGN

SPRING TERM 2013-2014

INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Oğuzhan HASANÇEBİ (Structural Mech. Lab. K2-211) Sec-1


Dr. Ahmet TÜRER (Structural Mech. Lab. K7-106) Sec-2

ASSISTANTS: Özkan KALE (Earthquake Engineering Res. Cent. K6-110)


Mehmet Bakır BOZKURT (Structural Mech. Lab. K2-218)

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.

MATERIAL AND OBJECTIVE:

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.

TENTATIVE GRADING POLICY:

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.

Qualification rules to be eligible to take the final exam are as follows:


 Minimum 70% appearance on randomly collected attendance sheets
 Collecting at least an average of 20 points out of 100 from two term tests
Students who do not qualify for the final exam will be graded NA at the end of the semester
