Course description and aims
This course focuses on instability of steel structural members and frames. This is very important issue for designing steel structure. In each class, structural member stabilities and specification for steel structure in Japan, USA and Europe are introduced.
Students will learn the advanced design methods for solving the instability problems of steel structure, and recent new topics about steel structure given by a guest speaker.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to :
1) Explain instability of steel structure and the concept any specification.
2) Develop the ability to solve instability issue and design steel structure.
3) Compile a report based on the findings.
Keywords
Structural Engineering, Steel Structure, Stability
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In each class, structural member stabilities are explained. New topics about steel structure are shown from a guest speaker. In the last class, group work exercise will be conducted to assess the students’ level of understanding on what has been taught so far.
