Steel
Beam Design by ASD / LRFD Steel Construction Manual (13th Edition)
Robert
Duane Nickols, PE
Overview
This course covers the
design of steel beams based on the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 13th
edition. No prior knowledge of previous codes is necessary. This course would be
of particular interest to Civil and Structural Engineers. The author attended a
steel seminar on this new manual when it first came out and there were about 200
people in attendance. Only about 5% were using this new manual. I hope to
improve that number with this course. Steel is
a recyclable material.
The student must take a
multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course
to earn PDH credits.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Attained
This
course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Types
of loads and load combinations by LRFD and ASD
- How
the calculations are done by LRFD and ASD
- What
are some of the limit states like strength, buckling, shear and deflection
in beam design
- Classification
of sections as compact, non-compact or slender-element
- An
illustration of a computer beam design program
