CIVL 4525

This introductory design course emphasizes the behaviour and design of steel members resisting tensile, compressive, and flexural loads and simple connections of these elements. Members subject to combined loading will also be studied. Upon course completion, the student will be able to design building elements to CSA-S16.1-01. Although most design examples will be based on framed buildings, many of the concepts apply equally to other types of structures; e.g. bridges, towers, and submarine hulls.
