PRINCIPLES OF
STEEL DESIGN
INSTRUCTOR: ANABELLE A. ROSARIO
 SEE COURSE OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION

 The design of steel structures is based on the National Structural Code of the Philippines
(NSCP), Vol. 1, “Buildings, Towers and Other Vertical Structures”, specifically Chapter 5
“Structural Steel”

 NSCP 2015 Chapter 5 “Structural Steel” is based on the American Institute of Steel
Construction, Inc. (AISC) Steel Construction Manual, 13 th Edition (AISC Manual)

 Since the 2010 NSCP Edition, the design procedure of the previous editions of the NSCP code
called “Allowable Stress Design” (ASD) was supplanted with two design methods:

a. Allowable Strength Design (ASD)


b. Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

 Allowable Stress Design(the former ASD) –based on elastic theory and stresses were primarily
kept low within elastic range. (Yield stress, Fy)

When the extreme fiber stress does not exceed the elastic limit, the bending stresses in the cross
section of a beam are directly proportional to their distances from the neutral axis.

Elastic
Limit
Allowable Strength Design(the latter ASD) and Load and Resistance factor
Design(LRFD) – based on limit design concepts. The capacities are based on the
ultimate capacities of the steel section or member, i.e. the yielding, breaking or
crushing strength of the section or member.

COMPARISON OF REINFORCED CONCRETE AND STRUCTURAL


STEEL FOR BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES

 The selection of the structural material to be used for a particular structure (building or
bridge) depends on:

- height and span


-material market/availability
-foundation condition
-local building codes
-architectural considerations

 Railway bridges:

-concrete normally favored because of its rigidity


INTRODUCTION

LOADS

 When analyzing and designing a structure, we consider the types of loads that could
reasonably act on the structure during its lifetime

 Sources:

Buildings:
Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures (ASCE 2017)

Bridges:
AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications
(AASHTO 2012)
INTRODUCTION

A. Dead load (D)

 Dead load is the self-weight of a structure.

 Dead load typically includes everything fixed in place, even nonstructural items such as
flooring, plumbing, and hand rails.

 Considered a gravity load because it acts vertically (due to the effect of gravity)

Multiplying the density by the


cross-sectional area
gives a distributed load that acts
along the length of the
structure
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION

B. Live load (L)


 Live load is associated with the use or occupancy of a structure

 Include people, vehicles, furniture, books, and partition walls which are likely to be moved over the life of
the structure

 Also a gravity load, so it acts vertically

 Unlike Dead load, Live load can act everywhere, somewhere, or nowhere

 Magnitude depends on the use of the area

Live load acts on the horizontal


projection (area seen from above)
INTRODUCTION

C. Wind load (W)

 Wind load is an environmental load that depends on:

-geographic location
-terrain around the structure
-shape of the structure
-height above the ground surface
-act normal to the structure surfaces
INTRODUCTION

D. Fluid (F) and Soil (H)

 Fluids stores in the structure tend to be static, therefore the pressure acts normal to the surface

 Because the pressure is generated by gravity, the magnitude of the pressure increases with depth

 Soil has similar effect with fluid except


that it has friction when movement is
present
INTRODUCTION

E. Earthquake (E)

 Approximated the dynamic effect on the structure with an equivalent static force

 The static force is dispersed throughout the structure wherever the largest concentrations
of mass are
