Course info

The course aims to study steel structural members sections needed due to different loadings, The design of structural elements and systems in steel; structural foundations, walls, columns, beams, trusses, frames and space frames. The student will be able to analyze the structural members subjected to various types of loadings and identify the loading path.

Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

i. Designing steel structural members

ii. Selecting suitable sections after designing

iii. Apply methods of designing steel loaded members such as beams, columns and trusses.

iv. Apply concept of structure in Architecture to the studio design of structural forms

v. Analyze different building Elements and components, checking and evaluating different types of loadings due to the structural members to be designed.

vi. Choose suitable architectural forms for building during architectural design.

vii. Undertake self learning in Structures area.

viii. Produce simple reports about structures behavior.
