The course “Design of Connections in Steel Structures” helps students understand the fundamental mechanism of how different types of connections behave and how the analysis and design process accounts for the same. The course also includes solved examples of various types of steel connections, such as, simple connection, ordinary moment connections, ductile moment connections, connections in members subjected to axial forces, gusset plate design, etc.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Undergraduate and graduate level students of structural engineering, practicing structural engineers and consultants, architects.PREREQUISITES :Structural Analysis, Construction materials.INDUSTRIES SUPPORT :Structural design firms, Architectural firms, Steel construction companies and fabricators.
