Text: 1) Steel Structures, Design & Behavior (4

This document outlines a 15-week course on steel design and behavior. It introduces students to concepts and fundamentals of steel design to provide skills for undertaking steel construction problems. The course covers topics such as tension members, bolted and welded connections, compression members, flexural members, and combined bending and axial load. Students will learn about steel properties, design methods, and codes. They will complete weekly homework, two exams, a final exam, and a group design project. The goal is to expose students to steel design concepts and principles to enable them to solve practical problems in steel construction.
