The student on completion of this course would be able to:
- Identify limit states of steel members under tension, compression, and bending
- Explain rationales behind steel design codes
- Analyze steel structures by taking elastic and inelastic stability issues into account
- Design steel members and structures against all possible limit states
Design bracing elements to improve stability of steel structures |
