Course overview

This course equips students with advance knowledge of steel design including the design of built-up sections, design using cold form steel and the design of elements subjected to complex loading regimes.

Course learning outcomes

  • Describe and apply the fundamental principles relating to residual stresses and buckling performance and how they can be simplified for design
  • Analyse and design built up hot rolled members subjected to axial loads according to AS4100
  • Analyse and design cold formed members subjected to the single and combined actions of axial loading, bending and shear according to AS/NZS4600
  • Analyse and design hot rolled members when subjected to complex loading scenarios including fire loading and high-cycle fatigue
