DEPARTMENT ofARCHITECTURE

• Class Schedule: Monday: 09:00-10:45 (Practical Session) Tuesday: 09:00-10:45 (Lectures)• Office Hour: Open Door Policy

Course Objectives

• This course aims to introduce the students to aplication of steel as structural material for structures and behaviour of steel structures.

• Students will be introduced with design process, from load analysis to providing cross-section for each structural element.

• Understanding different types of steel structural element, the way of transfering the loads, connection between same and different cross-section types and elements.

• Effects of fire and corrosion on steel elements. • Understanding composite reinforced concrete and steel

structural element and its behaviour.
