Program Description
Analysis and design of steel structural members and connections for buildings.
Course details
This course covers the analysis and design of steel structural members and connections for building structures. You will learn to apply standard structural codes to real-world building scenarios, focusing on the selection of materials and the verification of structural integrity under various loads.
Through a combination of lectures and practical design projects, you will develop the skills necessary to design safe and efficient steel frames, including beams, columns, and their connections.
