Structural engineering 5
M B Wong
3 points * 13 lecture hours, 26 tutorial hours * First semester * Caulfield * Prerequisites: ENC3012 or ENC3002, CVE3121
Introduction to steel design: methods of analysis, general design considerations, limit state approach in comparison with working stress design and ultimate load design, forms of construction. General members: amplification factor and strength capacity, equivalent moment, end restraints, P-delta effect, braced and sway members. Design of members subject to bending: local buckling and lateral-torsional buckling; compact, non-compact and slender sections; lateral restraints, effective length; design of web. Design of members subject to compression: form factor, slenderness reduction factor, effective length. Design of members subject to combined actions: axial and bending, bi-axial bending. Design of connections: bolt group and weld group. Design of members subject to axial tension. Design of multistorey buildings.
