Outline and Purpose of the Course This course focuses on buckling of components/frames and connections of components, factors that control the functionality and safety of steel frame structures, explaining in detail their theoretical background and discussing applications to structural design. Also, students are assigned suitable exercises to teach them practical structural design techniques.
Course Goals Understand the theory of buckling of steel frame structure components and frames, and learn how to design them. Also, understand the connections by high strength bolts and welds, and learn connection design techniques.
In terms of the department’s learning/educational goals, C. practical skills and C3. Ability to construct actual buildings.
Schedule and Contents The 1st-2nd class: Column elastic buckling;
Central compression column Euler buckling theory / changes in buckling load due to boundary conditions / behavior of columns with initial deflection or eccentricity / buckling load analysis using virtual work equations

The 3rd class: Column inelastic buckling;
Inelastic buckling according to tangent modulus theory and reduced modulus theory / the influence of residual stress upon buckling load

The 4th-5th class: Buckling slope deflection and buckling of frameworks;
Basic theory of buckling slope deflection / buckling of frames with restricted horizontal displacement / buckling of frames with unrestricted horizontal displacement / restraint effects against buckling

The 6th-7th class: Buckling of beams and buckling of plates;
Pure torsion of components / warping of components / theory of lateral buckling of beams / theory of buckling of plates / buckling loads of simply-supported plates

The 8th class: Design overview of components and connections and demanded capacities;
Overview of seismic design procedures / demanded capacities of components and connections

The 9th-11th class: Component design;
Compression members / flexural members / components under bending moments and axial force

The 12th-14th class: Connection design;
Full penetration welding / fillet welding / friction connections by high-strength bolts / tensile connections by high-strength bolts
