► Introduction and Purposes
Structural Steel is one of the most popular materials for construction of buildings, bridges and
other structures. This class is about studying properties of steel, behavior of structural steel
elements, and design procedures for these elements to withstand structural loads. Both
Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) will be introduced to
the students, however LRFD procedures will be used throughout the class. Tension members,
compression members, flexural members, and finally members subject to combined bending and
axial load will be studied. In addition, simple and eccentric steel connections will be discussed.
As a result of taking the course,
a. The students will have an understanding of the behavior of steel elements under
structural loading;
b. Will be familiar with AISC-LRFD steel design procedures;
c. Will be able to design primary steel structural elements of a building and their
connections.

► Course Requirements and Grades
1. Weekly homework assignments will represent 15% of the grade, one mid-term exam will
represent 25%, and a comprehensive final exam will account for 40% of the grade. The
remaining 20% will be represented by a design project.
2. The subject of homework assignments will be the concepts and procedures introduced in the
preceding class. All homework problems are due one week after they are assigned. Weekly
assignments must be submitted at the beginning of the class in which they are due. Late
assignments will be accepted under special circumstances with prior authorization.

3. The exams will be open book and open text and are intended to test students on the subject
matter in limited time frames.
4. The design project will be an individual one and involves designing steel structural elements
of a small building.

► Statement for Students with Disabilities
Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register
with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved
accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me as early
in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776.
► Statement on Academic Integrity
USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic honesty
include the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that
individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations
both to protect one’s own academic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using
another’s work as one’s own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these
principles. Scampus, the Student Guidebook, contains the Student Conduct Code and can be
found at:
http://web-app.usc.edu/scampus/university-student-conduct-code/
Students will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards for
further review, should there be any suspicion of academic dishonesty. The Review process can be
found at:

Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component
Engineering Topics | Design
Students will understand the design process and learn approaches used to solve various engineering problems that are representative of those found in a professional environment. They will practice decision-making skills as they apply their knowledge of basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences to convert resources optimally to meet the stated needs of a project.
Engineering Topics | Other
Constraints and Considerations. Students will understand the diverse constraints and considerations that are representative of what they will encounter in an engineering practice.
Although this course bridges all of the subjects
Economic | Environmental | Sustainability | Manufacturability1 | Social | Energy
1) Most of the emphasis is on manufacturability.
Relation of Course Objectives to Program Outcomes Course Contribution to Program Outcomes (a-k)
Key
The Civil Engineering program is designed to teach beyond the technical content of the curriculum and prepare the students to utilize what they learn in a professional setting.
This course contributes to the program outcomes as outlined in the adjacent table.
a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
c. An ability to design a system component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
e. An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
f. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
