Intro to CEEN 5361 19

 Course Scope
This course focuses on the design of structural steel
members according to the LRFD requirements set forth in
the 15th ed. of the AISC Steel Construction Manual.
Some terms:
LRFD = Load and Resistance Factor Design
AISC = American Institute of Steel Construction
AISC code parallels ACI code in reinforced concrete design

Intro to CEEN 5361 20

 Course Scope: Design Aid Caution
We will be learning how to use the AISC manual to design
steel components.
The AISC manual has a lot of design aids (i.e., short cuts)
that practicing engineers may use to select component
sizes. We will learn how to use several design aids.
However, using a design aid does not mean you have
designed a component! I dont care if the book does it!
You need to use the equations to verify your work.
One major goal of this class is to teach you process, so that
you know where the design aids come from and how to
apply them properly.

Intro to CEEN 5361 21

Course Scope: Design Aid Caution
Thou shalt not use design aids without
supporting calculations verifying your
design!

 The Role of Codes
Building Codes: (Ex. International Building Code, IBC)
Adopted by government entities (cities, states, etc.).
Describe minimum legal requirements for construction from
plumbing to structural safety.
Loading Standards: (Ex. ASCE 7)
ASCE 7 is included in or referenced by many building codes.
Describes minimum loads a building must withstand.
When adopted by a building code, it becomes legally binding.
Design Specifications: (Ex. AISC manual or ACI code)
Industry standards of good practice in structural design.
Explains how to design individual members to withstand loads
prescribed by ASCE 7.
When adopted by a building code, it becomes legally binding.

Intro to CEEN 5361 23

 The Role of Codes
ASCE 7 to calculate loads.

City adopts IBC 2015. New steel building.

AISC to design members.

Intro to CEEN 5361 24
 The Role of Codes
Summary: Building codes dictate the legal requirements
for construction within a geographic area. They include
provisions to specify what loads should be applied to a
structure (ASCE 7) and how members should be sized in
order to resist these loads (AISC manual).
Engineers have a responsibility to the public to understand
these codes and abide by their provisions.
When structures fail during service or construction, the
AISC code provides protection to the engineer. You must
be able to prove that you met or exceeded code
specifications in your design.

Intro to CEEN 5361 25

 Loads
What types of loads act on a structure?
Environmental Loads:
Snow, wind, earthquake, rain.
Magnitudes are determined by geographic location.
Live Loads:
Weight of building contents and occupants.
Magnitude and location vary over time.
Gravity-induced.
Dead Loads:
Weight of the structure and its permanent components.
Constant magnitude and location.
Gravity-induced.

Intro to CEEN 5361 26

 Loads
Load combinations are used to determine the governing
load effect on a member i.e., the most load a member is
likely to experience at a given time.

As structures grow more complex, so do the loads applied

to them. Multiple load combinations may need to be
considered for a structure.
Intro to CEEN 5361 27
 Member Types
Different members within a structure will react differently to
the same applied load:
P
B C

Member BC is in TENSION. It will fracture or yield.

Member AC is in COMPRESSION. It will buckle.
When selecting steel cross-sections for BC and AC, we
must consider the expected failure modes.

Intro to CEEN 5361 28

 Member Types
Different loads may cause different behaviors in a member:
w
H

1. Beam = BENDING 1. Beam & Pinned Column =

2. Columns = COMPRESSION COMPRESSION & BENDING
2. Roller Column = COMPRESSION

Expected failure modes change as loads change.

Different load combinations consider different load sources!
Intro to CEEN 5361 29
 Load & Member Types:
Effects on Behavior
1. Individual structural members play different roles in
supporting load. Therefore, we expect failure mechanisms
that reflect these various roles.
2. The role of a structural component (and, therefore, its
expected failure mechanism) may change when a different
loading scenario is considered.
3. We must DESIGN (i.e., select an appropriate cross-section)
structural components to withstand the worst possible
load(s) those components will see in the structures lifetime.

Intro to CEEN 5361 30

 Design Philosophies
In structural steel, there are two governing design
philosophies. Both seek to satisfy the design equation:

Qi < R
Q = load effect; any load creating force or stress in a
structural member.
R = member resistance; the capacity of a structural member
to resist the applied load.
Both design methods strive to select members with enough
resistance to withstand the sum of all loads acting on the
member while in service (Qi).

Intro to CEEN 5361 31

 Design Philosophies
Allowable Stress Design (ASD):
Compares stresses due to applied loads to theoretical maximums.
Uses one factor of safety to make sure stresses stay below
theoretical maximums.
Governing ASD Equation:

Qi / < R / FS
= relevant cross-sectional property (A or I)
FS = factor of safety

Intro to CEEN 5361 32

 Design Philosophies
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD):
Service loads (loads calculated from ASCE 7 that we would
reasonably expect in the structures lifetime) are increased to
multiply their effect on the member.
The nominal member strength (the capacity of the member to
withstand loads based upon dominate failure mechanisms) is
decreased to make the member appear weaker than it is.
Distributes a factor of safety between loads and members.
Factored loads are called design loads, and the factored
resistance is the members design strength.
LRFD uses failure modes to determine a design that reflects
the lowest possible design strength. This failure mode is
the governing limit state for the member.

Intro to CEEN 5361 33

 Design Philosophies
Governing LRFD Equation:

i Qi < Rn
i = magnification factor to increase load Qi; generally > 1.0.
Rn = nominal strength (or resistance) of the member.
= phi factor or resistance factor; used to reduce member
capacity; generally < 1.0.
Selection of i and factors depends on probability
analysis. The goal is to reduce the region of probability
where applied load will exceed member resistance. See
Section 2.5 of Segui text.

Intro to CEEN 5361 34

 Summary
We will be designing structural steel components according
to the AISC steel manual, which sets forth minimum legal
requirements.
The AISC manual contains equations for designing
according to the ASD or LRFD design philosophies.
We will be using the LRFD provisions.
So lets get started!
