Steel Design or Structural Steel Design
is a place of structural engineering used for designing of metal
systems (Steels).
Structural analysis.
The outcomes of loads and moments on systems are decided
thru
Residential
,houses, apartments, hotels
Commercial
offices, banks, department stores, shopping centres;
Institutional
schools, universities, hospitals, gaols;
Exhibition
churches, theatres, museums, art galleries, leisure centres,
sports stadia, etc.
Industrial
factories, warehouses, power stations, steelworks, aircraft
hangers etc.
Bridges
truss, girder, arch,
cable suspended, suspension
Towers
water towers, pylons, lighting towers etc
Special structures
offshore structures, carparks, radio telescopes, mine
headframes etc.
Shear Walls
are commonly used to stabilize multistorey buildings
,Single-storey
single- or multibay structures which may be of truss or stanchion
frames or rigid frame of solid or lattice members
multistorey
single- or multibay structures of braced or rigid frame
construction
Space decks and domes
are redundant structures, while towers may be statically
determinate space structures;
Towers
may be statically determinate space structures
Stressed skin structures
where the cladding stabilizes the structure.
Design specification
give more specific guidance for the design of structural
members and their connections.
Design Specifications
It present the guidelines and criteria that enable a structural
engineer to achieve the objectives mandated by a building code
Design specifications
represent what is considered to be good engineering practice
based on the latest research
, Design Specifications
provide guidance in designing a structural member and
connections.
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
This specification provides for the design of structural steel
buildings and their connections.
American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO)
This specification covers the design of highway bridges and re-
lated structures. It provides for all structural materials normally
used in bridges, including steel, reinforced concrete, and timber
American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way
Association (AREMA)
covers the design of railway bridges and related structures. This
organization was formerly known as the American Railway
Engineering Association (AREA)
American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI)
This specification deals with cold-formed steel
Structural Design
It is determining and selecting the overall dimensions of the
supporting frameworks or members in a structure.
