Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to introduce steel as a construction material and raise the awareness of its vast use among different kinds of architectural structures. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; Students are going to -learn the structural steel in material, element, and building scales; -be aware of the relation between design and load-bearing systems; -gain basic knowledge of using structural steel elements; -be informed about the selection of cladding and protection systems. |
•Steel is introduced -as a material (what is steel, the uses of steel, story of the steel, steelmaking, and sustainability), -as the construction material (advantages of steel construction, processes and applications of structural steel); •Steel design is handled based on -basic design principles with load flow on structures, -concept of improved shapes and efficiency, -strength, stiffness and stability; •Construction elements made of steel are studied in terms of -beams, columns, trusses, bracings, -floor systems, -cold-formed steel members, -connections and fasteners, (with some numerical case studies to provide better understanding of element sizes to fulfill architectural needs) •Steel protection systems are studied as -corrosion protection -fire protection Teaching Methods and Techniques Used in the Course -Case Study -Collaborative Learning -Lecture -Discussion -Individual Study -Problem Solving |
