 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.
