Description

This course summarizes the design of steel structures using SAP2000, with an in-depth understanding of the structural principles of stability, strength, and serviceability of the steel structures design using AISC360-16, also will highlight the design for seismic according to the Special Seismic Provisions (ANSI/AISC 341-16)

This course is not focusing on the basics of Sap2000 modeling but go through more advanced aspects related to understanding sap2000 design inputs and outputs results and ensuring the accuracy of the analysis, so students should have some background in Sap2000 modeling

This course will cover fundamental concepts of the analysis and design of steel structures and their applications in Sap2000 with emphasis on:

· Explain AISC design Philosophies and Load combinations of design using LRFD and ASD and how to considered in an analysis model

· Explain AISC design of stability requirements as per AISC360-16

· Explain the three main methods of design for stability: (Effective length method, Direct analysis method, First-order analysis method) and how to be considered in an analysis model

· Explain the geometric imperfections definition and how to be considered in an analysis model

· Explain the residual stresses definitions and how to consider reducing member stiffness appropriately using the direct analysis procedure

· Describe steps to ensure that second-order analysis is performed correctly.

· Describe how loads are factored in when using the direct analysis method.

· Explain the AISC design of individual members and the ability of Sap2000 to support the design of members for (compression, flexure, tension, shear, and combined forces)

· Explain the serviceability limits and how to consider check deflection in an analysis model

· Explain the difference in the design equations between the AISC and the current Egyptian Code and how to adjust the overwrites to depend on Sap2000 output results case of design according to the Egyptian Code

· Explain the concept of the seismic design according to the Special Seismic Provisions (ANSI/AISC 341-16)
