AE 3021 - Principles of Structural Steel and Concrete Design4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
Students study the fundamentals of both structural steel design and reinforced concrete design. Behavior under shear, moment, and axial load is analyzed and the proper design considerations for each material is explained. This course is an extension of the study of the concepts learned in Strength of Materials. The theoretical and allowable stresses are evaluated and compared for compliance with AISC LRFD Code and the American Concrete Institute Code. (prereq: AE-201 or AE 2012 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• Be familiar with the material properties of steel and concrete
• Be familiar with the behavior and design of flexural members made with steel or
• Reinforced concrete
• Be familiar with the behavior and design of compression members made with steel or reinforced concrete
• Be introduced to connections of structural members
Prerequisites by Topic
• Statics and strength of materials
• Shear and moment diagrams
