Description

This unit provides students with the skills required to develop and analyse the loads applied to steel structural systems, and to be able to design these structures according to the relevant design codes. The practical tasks of selection of member sizes, design of support and joint conditions, and the integration of structural elements into the overall structure are covered.

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded ENS5246

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply the relevant load combinations for the analysis and design of steel structures.
  2. Design bolted and welded steel connections.
  3. Design steel structural elements under bending.
  4. Design steel structural elements under tension and compression.
  5. Research new developments in the design of steel structures to withstand fatigue failure.
  6. Use software for the analysis and/or design of steel structural members.

Unit Content

  1. Analysis and design of members under compression.
  2. Analysis and design of members under tension.
  3. Analysis and design of steel structures considering fatigue.
  4. Design of beams.
  5. Design of welded and bolted connections.
  6. Steel structures: Design philosophy and loading.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
