Steel structures are widely used for many reasons, such as rapid construction, ease of erection, and controlled quality of fabrication.
Design of steel structures, as well as the design of any structural system, is composed of four stages: choosing the statical system, the determination of loads, the analysis process, and the design process.
By putting loads on the chosen statical system, we get straining action in the members of the statical system. Several straining actions can be found with different analysis methods, such as tension, compression, flexure, shear, and torsion.
In this course, we will study the design of steel compression members, which exist in many steel structures such as trusses, bracing, and columns.
This course is the 2nd course of a series related to the design of members. All of these courses are independent and do not require any prerequisites. The following is the list of related courses:
2. Design of Steel Compression Members per AISC360-16
3. Design of Steel Flexure Members per AISC360-16
4. Design of Steel Members Subject to Shear per AISC360-16
5. Design of Steel Members subject to Combined Stresses per AISC360-16
6. Design of Steel Members subject to Torsion per AISC360-16
This course involves a deep study on the design of steel compression members, according to AISC Construction Manual 15th edition-Parts 4, and also AISC360-16-Chapter E. All course equations are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Compression limit states
- Flexure buckling of members without slender elements
- Torsional & Flexural-Torsional buckling of members without slender elements
- Flexure buckling of members with slender elements
- Torsional & Flexural-Torsional buckling of members with slender elements.
- Design of single angle compression member (Concentrically & Eccentrically loaded)
- Design for built-up members for buckling
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 10 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
