It is a course intended to develop competency in analysis and design of multi-story steel buildings subjected to gravity, wind and earthquake loadings, including study of connections, framing systems, composite design and plastic design of steel members. Due dates will be announced along with the assignment. Late homework will not be accepted for credit but will be reviewed, corrected and returned. This does not mean that you can not work together on homework or help each other with out of class assignments. A great deal can be learned from your fellow classmates and by working in teams but in the end, you must do the work yourself to gain the level of knowledge expected.
All exams are open notes and open book.
You are, of course, expected to do your own work. This semester I will be the Interim Assistant Dean for Student Services in the College of Engineering. This is a half-time appointment in addition to most of my other duties. I expect to spend mornings in Hammond Building. A office afternoons.
