This course is also concerned with the design of structural steel members
subjected to flexure (beams, girders, joists, lintels, girts, etc.), tension, and
compression members (columns), combined stressed members (beam-

columns), riveted, welded, and bolted connections using the Elastic Limit
Method, also known as the Allowable Stress Design (ASD), and the Plastic
Limit Method. The course also deals with an introduction to the Load
Resistance Factor Design Method (LRFD) in designing structural steel.
Applications and specifications as applied to buildings, bridges, and other
steel structures are also given emphasis. A thorough knowledge and
proficiency in Structural Theory is imperative.
