This course is a continuation of Part 1, which dealt with pretty much the introduction to structural steel design, and design methodologies. Part 2 of the AISC Steel Design Course, will deal with the analysis and design of tension members. ASIC 360-22 has been used as a guide, which is the last spec, available at the time of course creation. This five-hour course dives exceptionally deep into the concepts and practical examples relating to steel tension design.
The following topics will be covered in this part of the course:
1) Introduction to Tension Members
2) Nominal Strength of Tension Members
3) Net Area with one example
4) Effect of Staggered Holes with four examples
5) Effective Net Areas with four examples
6) Connecting Elements for Tension Members with one example
7) Block Shear with three examples
8) Selection of Sections with two examples
9) Built-up Tension Members with one example
10) Rod and Bars with one example
11) Pin-Connected Members
12) Design for Fatigue Loads with one example
At the end of each section, you will face two challenging assignments.
Come and join me in this course, to expand your knowledge of steel tension design.
In the next part of this course, we will discuss the design and analysis of axially compression members!
