AE 304 - Advanced Steel Design3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
Students study the fundamentals of the integrated systems of steel structures. This study involves theoretical analysis combined with practical design projects. The specification of AISC Code is also studied. Connections, members and structural systems are evaluated. (prereq: AE 3021 , AE 3023 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop a systems design approach
- Create entire building and framing situations which have open-ended design solutions
- Apply AISC specifications
- Develop design and solutions based on AISC design criteria, plus fabrication, erection and economic factors
