Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: CIV ENGR 340 , graduate/professional standing, or member of Engineering Guest Students Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the typical strength limit states of a tension member and simple bolted tension connection, including gross yielding, fracture of an effective net section, and block shear Audience: Undergraduate 2. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the typical strength limit states of a compression member, including gross yielding, elastic and inelastic flexural buckling, and local web buckling Audience: Undergraduate 3. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the typical strength limit states of a flexural member, including yielding, elastic and inelastic lateral-torsional buckling, and local flange buckling Audience: Undergraduate 4. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the typical strength limit states of a member subjected to the combined effects of flexure and axial force, including yielding, lateral-torsional buckling, and local buckling Audience: Undergraduate 5. Check, proportion and design structural steel members subjected to tension, compression, or/and flexure to satisfy the requirements of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings using the Load and Resistance Factor Design method Audience: Undergraduate 6. Develop technically feasible alternative solutions to a problem, compare the alternative solutions, and recommended one of the solutions as the preferred option Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
