About This Course
Design of Steel Structures in a core course offered under the B.Tech Civil Engineering program. This is a comprehensive course about how to design steel and timber structures using Limit State method as per Indian Standards.
The basic objectives of the course are:
1. To introduce the limit state design of steel structural components subjected to bending, compression and tensile loads including the connections
2. To enable design of structural components using timber
Syllabus
Steel and steel structures – bolted and welded connections- tension members – compression members – beams – roof trusses – purlins – timber structures – columns- composite beams
Prerequisite
Fundamental knowledge in Structural Analysis is expected from the student to undertake this course effectively
