This course is an introduction to the practical design of structural steel building members and connections. It explains how engineers use the AISC Steel Construction Manual and AISC 360 Specification to produce safe, efficient designs. Participants learn core limit states (yielding, fracture, buckling, lateral-torsional buckling, block shear, etc.), the design philosophy behind LRFD and ASD, and the essential mechanics needed to design tension members, compression members, beams, and beam-columns. The course also covers bolted and welded connection behavior and design, with emphasis on load paths, detailing, constructability, and common pitfalls.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
