CE8601 Design of Steel Structural Elements Syllabus:

CE8601 Design of Steel Structural Elements Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2017

OBJECTIVES:

  • To introduce the students to limit state design of structural steel members subjected to compressive, tensile and bending loads, including connections.
  • Design of structural systems such as roof trusses, gantry girders as per provisions of current code (IS 800 -2007) of practice for working stress and Limit state Method.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION AND ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN

Structural steel types — Mechanical Properties of structural steel- Indian structural steel products-Steps involved in the Deign Process -Steel Structural systems and their Elements- -Type of Loads on Structures and Load combinations- Code of practices, Loading standards and Specifications — Concept of Allowable Stress Method, and Limit State Design Methods for Steel structures-Relative advantages and Limitations-Strengths and Serviceability Limit states. Allowable stresses as per IS 800 section 11 -Concepts of Allowable stress design for bending and Shear –Check for Elastic deflection-Calculation of moment carrying capacity –Design of Laterally supported Solid Hot Rolled section beams-Allowable stress deign of Angle Tension and Compression Members and estimation of axial load carrying capacity.

UNIT II CONNECTIONS IN STEEL STRUCTURES
