Explore how steel structures achieve stability, strength, and rigidity under tension, compression, bending, and shear, guided by is 800 design code and load calculations.
Explore how codes estimate bolt shear and bearing capacity using conservative equations, then analyze member yielding and related capacities in connection design under IS 800 steel standards.
determine bolt tension capacity per IS 800 using nominal capacity and bolt area, using the least diameter within the section to compute net area, and assess combined shear and tension.
Determine the tension capacity of a plate connection using the net plate area (b minus bolt holes) and compare it with the member capacity, illustrated by bolt configurations.
Design a bolted connection per IS 800, evaluating bolt shear strength and bearing capacity of bolt and plate, computing minimum hole and pitch, and determining required bolts.
Evaluate the combined shear and tension at a bolt connection per IS 800, calculating bolt capacity from net area and grade 4.6, then verify six-bolt design capacity.
Examine gusset plate design for roof trusses under IS 800 by calculating bolt shear capacity and bearing capacity to determine required bolt quantities and plate performance.
Compute block shear capacity for a steel member per IS 800 by identifying tension and shear areas, bolt hole geometry, and applying two equations to select the minimum capacity.
Selects a suitable single angle section, computes the required area, and verifies slenderness and capacity to satisfy a 250 kn load per IS 800.
Calculate the design capacity of a double angle compression member under a 200 kN load, select a suitable section, and verify slenderness and buckling per IS 800 requirements.
Learn how to design a beam-column under axial force and bending moment per IS 800, classify the section as semi-compact, and verify capacity via the elastic interaction equation.
Demonstrate the combined axial force and bending check from IS 800 9.3.2.2 by calculating the slenderness lambda and buckling capacity, then perform the interaction check with moment amplification factors.
This course is designed to introduce Steel structural members design according to the limit states design as per IS800 standards. The basic principles of steel structural design are explained using typical example problems with figures, tables. The examples are illustrated with behavior and design of bolted connection, tension members, compression members, laterally restrained and unrestrained beams, beam columns – members subjected to combined axial and bending forces. Students are expected to obtain the knowledge on principles and design of steel structural elements by end of this course. A preliminary knowledge on structural analysis is required before going to this course.
The Major topics covered in this course is Bolt Shear, Bolt Tension, Rupture, Block Shear in Connection design, Net area, Tension Yield, Tension Rupture, Tension Block Shear in Tension design, Section classification, buckling curve, slenderness ratio in Compression design, Laterally restrained and Laterally unrestrained members in Beam design, finally combined forces like axial force with bending moment covered in Beam column design.
