CV4102 Advanced Steel Design


[Lectures: 26 hrs; Tutorials: 13 hrs; Lab: 0 hr; Pre-requisite: CV3012; Academic Units: 3.0]

Learning Objective

To develop a deeper understanding of structural steelwork design based on limit state principles. The materials
covered in the course enable students to familiarize with EC 3 and essential part of EC4 for the design of steel
structures in practice.

Course Content

The course begins with the moment capacity of plate girders. A general description is given of the plate girder
behaviour in terms of elastic buckling of web in shear and bending, and web in tension field action. This is followed by
some detailed worked examples on plate girders to EC3. Students are introduced to moment connections to EC3 and
composite design of beams and slabs in accordance with EC4. This is followed by plastic analysis and design of steel
beams, rectangular and portal frames. This is followed by application of elastic and plastic design to multi-storey rigid
frames, and distinction is made between sway frames and non-sway frames. Finally, students are introduced to a
complete design of a single-storey building integrating the design of various members and frames together.

Course Outline

S/N Topic

1 Plate girders:
Classification and moment capacity of plate girders, Web
capacity and tension field action, Design of vertical stiffeners

2 Moment Connections

3 Design of composite beams and slabs

4 Plastic design, Plastic moment of resistance, Fundamental


theorems, Work equation and kinematics, Combined
mechanisms, Effect of shear force, axial load and moment

5 Continuous multi-storey frames, Bracing against sway


stability, Elastic design of sway and non-sway frames, Plastic
design of sway and non-sway frames Worked examples

6 Design of single-storey building

Learning Outcome

At the end of the course, students will be able to apply the recommendations in EC3 to design steel structures
economically and safely. They will be able to design plate girders, moment connections, portal frames and multi-
storey rigid frames. They will be able to do both elastic and plastic design of steel structures.
