Learning Outcomes:- Use of AISC Manual to find required sections & sectional properties
- Difference between LRFD & ASD design
- Students will be able to learn the design principles of tension members considering three limit states: yielding, fracture & block shear
- How to find the failure path which gives least area in case of staggered fasteners
- How to find the strength of bolts in case of bearing type bolts
- How to find the strength of weld & length of weld required
- Understanding the phenomenon of buckling in slender columns
- Design of compression member using AISC column design formula & trial method
- Understanding the concept of compact/non-compact sections & the corresponding criteria
- Finding the strength of flexural member considering compactness/non-compactness
