Description

Behaviour and design of steel members. Frame analysis and design considering higher-order effects and plasticity. Composite beams. Fatigue. Steel frame seismic design. Cold-formed members.

This course introduces students to the economical design of steel framed structures building on the basic steel member design techniques from ENCI336, and structural systems concepts, from ENCI429.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the end of this course students will have a technical basis for the design of simple steel structures for both earthquake and non-earthquake conditions and have the following skills:

  • Proficiency in designing steel members under biaxial bending and axial force to NZS3404
  • Experience with different methods for obtaining element demands considering frame second order effects including with second order frame analysis
  • Experience in designing beams (e.g. composite and plate girder beams) for strength (including torsion), fatigue, vibration and deflection considering creep and shrinkage
  • Expertise with different methods to determine likely element demands during earthquake including experience with time history analysis
  • Proficiency with determining capacities of, and details elements in, both non-seismic (e.g. portal) and seismic (e.g. moment and braced) frames
