CE3002 Steel Structures Syllabus:

CE3002 Steel Structures Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES

 To acquire hands on experience in design and preparation of structural drawings for steel structures like industrial buildings, steel framed buildings using structural design software and detailed drawing softwares
 To introduce the students to design of light gauge steel structures

UNIT I DESIGN ASPECTS AND LOADS ON A STEEL BUILDING

Inputs for the design of a steel building – Design basis report, covering Site Data, geometrical, functional and structural requirements for its end usage – material specifications – Methods of designing a steel building. Calculating the various loads acting on a steel building – Vertical & Lateral loads – Effects of each loads separately and in combination – Dead, superimposed dead, live, temperature, MEP service loads – Lateral loads due to Wind and Seismic effects.

UNIT II SELECTION OF LOAD RESISTING SYSTEM AND MODELLING OF STRUCTURE

Studying the layout plans of the structure – Selection of load resisting systems – Load flow in each system – Satisfying Stability and strength of the structure – Vertical and Lateral load resisting systems – Analysis and design of Sway and non-sway frames – Manual and Computer aided modelling, analysis and design – Geometric and structural parameters of the structure – Loading the structure – Interpretation of the results of the software – Analysis and Design of a multi-storeyed building.

UNIT III DESIGN OF VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF A STEEL BUILDING

Manual and Software aided design – Beams, columns, floors, bracings, purlins/girts and facades, base plates and anchor bolts – Various loads, different conditions of supports, exposure, and purpose of use – Design of Connections between the members – bolted and welded, moment and shear connections

UNIT IV DESIGN OF AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING

Functional requirements – Serviceability Requirements – Structural Configurations – Selection of sections as per requirements – Configuration of the elements, connectivity – Analysis and design of different types of trusses –– Design of Gantry Girders – Design of gable frames – Design of steel columns for combined loading – Analysis and design of industrial buildings – Study of General assembly drawings – Fabrication processes – Fabrication, logistics & erection – Sequence of erection – Inspection of a completed structure.

UNIT V DESIGN OF LIGHT GAUGE STEEL STRUCTURES

Philosophy of design of light gauge steel members, Direct Strength Method (DSM) ,Effective width method (EWM) – Concept of buckling, local buckling and post-buckling strength – Analysis and design of Compression members– Analysis and design of flexural members, Lateral buckling of beams, Shear Lag, Flange Curling – Design of wall panels
