A civil design elective building on the steel design portion of CIVE 318. Computer-assisted design using SAP2000 is also covered.

Review of the steel design portion of CIVE 318. Preliminary Design Calculations for Single-Storey Steel Industrial Buildings: design dead loads, gerber beam system, load cases and patterns, deflection, torsional-flexural buckling, truss system, diaphragm system, concentrically braced frames, elastic lateral drift, notional loads, eave members, drift limit check. Beam Bearing Plates & Column Base Plates: design assumptions, concentric axial load, eccentric axial load, combined axial load and moment, lightly loaded column base plate. Combined Axial Tension & Bending, and Axial Compression & Bending: cross-section strength, moment amplification, flexural or lateral-torsional stability. Connections: connections with bolts in tension, prying action, factored tensile resistance of a bolt, co...read more

The same professor as CIVE 318, so the same comments apply.

Same advice as CIVE 318. For the SAP2000 assignments, they are released early so complete early to avoid rushing at the end.
