## Steel Design Reviewer

### 1. Introduction to Steel Design

**a. Importance of Steel:**

- High strength-to-weight ratio.

- Versatility and recyclability.

- Commonly used in buildings, bridges, towers, and other structures.

**b. Design Codes and Standards:**

- **AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) Manual:** Provides guidelines and specifications for
steel design.

- **LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design):** Ensures safety and serviceability.

- **ASD (Allowable Stress Design):** Traditional method based on elastic design principles.

### 2. Material Properties

**a. Types of Structural Steel:**

- **Mild Steel (A36):** Commonly used for general structural purposes.

- **High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel (HSLA):** Higher strength with good ductility.

- **Weathering Steel (Corten):** Resistant to atmospheric corrosion.

**b. Mechanical Properties:**

- **Yield Strength (Fy):** Stress at which material begins to deform plastically.

- **Ultimate Tensile Strength (Fu):** Maximum stress material can withstand.

- **Modulus of Elasticity (E):** Measure of material stiffness.

### 3. Tension Members


**a. Design Considerations:**

- **Gross Section Yielding:** Ensure member does not yield under load.

- **Net Section Fracture:** Prevent fracture at the weakest cross-section.

- **Block Shear:** Combination of tensile and shear failure.

**b. Key Equations:**

- **Tensile Strength:** \( P_n = A_g F_y \)

- **Net Section Fracture:** \( P_n = A_n F_u \)

### 4. Compression Members

**a. Buckling:**

- **Euler Buckling:** Occurs in slender members under axial load.

- **Local Buckling:** Buckling of individual elements of the cross-section.

**b. Effective Length:**

- **Effective Length Factor (K):** Accounts for end conditions (fixed, pinned).

- **Critical Buckling Load:** \( P_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 EI}{(KL)^2} \)

**c. Design Equations:**

- **LRFD:** \( \phi P_n \geq P_u \)

- **ASD:** \( \frac{P_n}{\Omega} \geq P_u \)

### 5. Flexural Members (Beams)

**a. Bending Stress:**

- **Maximum Bending Stress:** \( \sigma = \frac{M}{S} \)

- \( M \): Bending moment


- \( S \): Section modulus

**b. Lateral-Torsional Buckling:**

- **Occurs when compression flange buckles laterally and twists.**

- **Critical Moment:** Dependent on unbraced length and section properties.

**c. Design Considerations:**

- **Shear Strength:** \( V_n = A_w F_y \)

- **Deflection Limits:** Ensuring serviceability.

### 6. Beam-Column Members

**a. Interaction of Axial Load and Bending:**

- **Design Interaction Equations:**

- **LRFD:** \( \phi P_n + \phi M_n \geq P_u + M_u \)

- **ASD:** \( \frac{P_n}{\Omega} + \frac{M_n}{\Omega} \geq P_u + M_u \)

**b. Stability and Bracing:**

- **Ensure adequate lateral support to prevent buckling.**

### 7. Connections

**a. Types of Connections:**

- **Bolted Connections:** Easy to install and inspect.

- **Welded Connections:** Provide continuity and rigidity.

**b. Design Considerations:**

- **Bolt Strength:** \( P_b = A_b F_u \)

- **Weld Strength:** \( P_w = 0.75 F_u A_w \)


- **Connection Types:** Shear, moment, and combined connections.

### 8. Composite Design

**a. Steel-Concrete Composite Beams:**

- **Combines the benefits of steel and concrete.**

- **Shear Connectors:** Ensure composite action between steel beam and concrete slab.

**b. Design Considerations:**

- **Flexural Strength:** Composite section properties.

- **Shear Connectors:** \( P_n = Q_n \) where \( Q_n \) is the nominal shear strength.

### 9. Practical Considerations

**a. Constructability:**

- **Ease of fabrication and erection.**

- **Tolerances and fit-up issues.**

**b. Economy:**

- **Material optimization and cost-effective design.**

**c. Safety:**

- **Ensure compliance with safety standards and codes.**

- **Regular inspection and maintenance.**
