[Scope and Outline]
This course addresses several advanced topics in the design and behavior of steel and composite structures. The student is expected to have taken introductory coursework in structural analysis and design of steel structures. This course is organized to provide students with in-depth understanding of the behavior of steel and composite structures under various classes of gravity and lateral loading.
Additionally, design methods to achieve target performance objectives under gravity, vibration, wind, and seismic conditions are presented.
Topics include the design and behavior of:
- Noncompact steel plate girders
- Steel members subjected to torsion
- Composite steel floor systems
- Shear, semi-rigid and moment connections
- Steel and composite lateral systems
