AE 730 - AISC Steel Design3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents advanced topics in design of steel structures. Topics include plate girder design, column and frame design, bracing design, connection design, and advanced floor serviceability. (prereq: graduate standing)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• design plate girders for flexure and shear
• design steel frames for gravity and axial loads
• design bracing systems for steel structures
• design connections for steel structures
• understand advanced floor serviceability
Prerequisites by Topic
