Steel structures are widely used these days for many reasons, including, rapid construction, ease of erection, and controlled quality of fabrication.
Design of steel structures, and also the design of any structural system, is composed of four stages, which are respectively, the choosing of a statical system, the determination of loads, the analysis process, and the design process.
By putting loads on a statical system, we get straining action in the members of the statical system; by different analysis methods, these straining actions are several, including tension, compression, flexure, shear, and torsion.
In this course, we will study the design of steel members subject to combined stresses (axial + flexure about one or both axes, with or without torsion), which exist in many steel structures, such as frame rafters, frame columns, crane beams, and collector elements.
Also, we will study the design of steel members subject to torsion only, such as spandrel beams at building external walls that usually carry eccentric block load that causes torsion in the beam.
This course is the fifth course of a series related to the design of members; all of these courses are independent and do not require any perquisites. 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 members subject to combined stresses, according to AISC Construction Manual 15th edition-Parts 6, and also AISC360-16-Chapter H. All course equations are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
