Steel structures are widely used these days for many purposes, including rapid construction, ease of erection, and controlled quality of fabrication.
The design of steel structures (and any structural system) is composed of four stages, which are: the choosing of a statical system, the determination of loads, the analysis process, and the design process.
By putting the loads on the chosen statical system, we get the straining action in the members of the statical system; by the different analysis methods, these straining actions are several, such as tension, compression, flexure, shear, and torsion.
In this course, we will study the design of steel flexure members, which exists in many steel structures, such as floor beams, roof purlins, crane beams, and plate girders.
This course is the third course of a series related to the design of members. All of these courses are independent and do not require any prerequisites. 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 flexure members; according to AISC Construction Manual 15th edition-Parts 3, and also AISC360-16-Chapter F, all course equations are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Flexure limit states (Tension Flange Yielding, Compression Flange Buckling, Lateral Torsional Buckling, …)
