Salman Johnson. 2) Manual of Steel Construction (LRFD) AISC (3rdEd.) Course Objectives: Expose students to the concepts and fundamentals of steel design and provide design skill to undertake design problems in Steel Construction. Four Stages for the Engineering Projects: I – Planning Stage. Architectural Structural Cost (Budget) Size. Function. II – Design Stage. III – Construction Stage. IV – Operation and Maintenance Stage. 1 It is a mixture of art and science to produce a safe and economical structure that serves its intended purpose. Design is an optimization process Min. Weight. Min. Cost. Min Construction Time. Min. Labor Force. Min. Operational Cost. 2 1: Planning, Function Design. 2: Preliminary Structural Configuration. 3: Establish Load Cases Load Combinations. 4: Preliminary Member Selection. 5: Structural Analysis. 6: Evaluation of all members to meet strength and serviceability Criteria. 7: Redesign by going to step “3” above. 8: Final Design thus optimum design is achieved.
