Students in the course are introduced to the theory and design of steel structures using the Load and Resistance Factor Design method. The goals of this course are to provide the students with some of the tools, experience and confidence needed to analyze and design tension and compression elements, beams, columns and beam columns.
Computer based structural analysis is an integral part of the course.
This allows the students to concentrate on the steel design concepts that are being introduced. CIVL-309 Structural Analysis. The course policies and administrative information are available from this server. A list of lessons, assignments and selected course materials are also available.
