This course isrecommended for seniors in the civil engineering program at MSU who are interested in learningthe design of steel structures. The objectives of this course are:1. To learn the behavior and design of structural steel components, for example, members andconnections in two - dimensional (2D) truss and frame structures.2. To gain an educational and comprehensive experience in the design of simple steel structures.3.0 Course Materials and References1. The course will follow the contents of the book:Segui, W.T. (1999). LRFD Steel Design. 2ndEdition, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company,Pacific Grove, California.2. Steel structures will be designed according to:AISC (1999). Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural SteelBuildings, American Institute of Steel Construction, Chicago, IL.3. Specific structural steel components will be selected using: 1AISC (2001). Manual of Steel Construction – Load and Resistance Factor Design, ThirdEdition, American Institute of Steel Construction, Chicago, IL.4.

Students will be assigned homeworks, exams, and a group design project.3. The final grades will be based on the homeworks, exams, and design project as follows: • Homework = 15 %• Exam 1 = 20%• Exam 2 = 20%• Final Exam = 30%• Design Project = 15%4. The final grades will be assigned on a straight scale, with some adjustment for the level ofdifficulty of the exams and overall class performance. If no adjustments are required then thefinal grades will be assigned as follows: Score ≥ 90 ≡ 4.0 85 ≤ Score < 90 ≡ 3.5 80 ≤ Score < 85 ≡ 3.0 75 ≤ Score < 80 ≡ 2.5 70 ≤ Score < 75 ≡ 2.0 60 ≤ Score < 65 ≡ 1.0Score ≤ 60 ≡ 0.05.0 Course Policies1. Attendance policy - Students are expected to attend all the lectures. They are also expected toadequately perform all the work assigned by the instructor.2. Tardy policy - All the assigned work must be submitted by the due date and time.Submissions that are 0 - 24 hours late will be penalized for 25% of the grade. Submissionsthat are 24 - 48 hours late will be penalized for 50% of the grade. After 48 hours,submissions will neither be accepted nor graded. Exceptions can be made for students withemergencies or special circumstances. 23. Make-up policy - Students are expected to take the exams on the assigned dates and times.Make-up exams may be arranged for students with emergencies or special circumstances.4. Quality of Submissions - Students are encouraged to submit their work on engineering paperor clean white paper. Please explain and show all your calculations. Include appropriatereferences to the AISC specifications and final drawings of designed structures.6.0 Relevant University Policies and Procedures1. Academic Honesty: Article 2.3.3 of the Academic Freedom Report states that "the studentshares with the faculty the responsibility for maintaining the integrity of scholarship, grades,and professional standards." In addition, the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering atMSU adheres to the policies on academic honesty as specified in General StudentRegulations 1.0, Protection of Scholarship and Grades, and in the all-University Policy onIntegrity of Scholarship and Grades, which are included in Spartan Life; Student Handbookand Resource Guide. Students who plagiarize may receive a 0.0 on the assignment or fail thecourse.2. The last day to drop this course with a 100 percent refund and no grade reported is Thursday09/14/2003. The last day to drop this course with no refund and no grade reported is Tuesday10/14/2002. You should immediately make a copy of your amended schedule to verify youhave dropped this course. 3. Religious Observance: If you wish to be absent from class to observe a religious holiday,make arrangements in advance with the instructor. 4. Missing Class to Participate in a Required Activity: To be excused from this class toparticipate in a required activity for another course or a university-sanctioned event, youmust provide the instructor with adequate advanced notice and a written authorization fromthe faculty member of the other course or from a university administrator5. Commercialized Lecture Notes: Commercialization of lecture notes and university-providedcourse materials is not permitted in this course.7.0 Important DatesClasses begin Monday, August 25, 2003Holiday – University closed Monday, September 1, 2003End of tuition refund Thursday, September 18, 2003Middle of semester Tuesday, October 14, 2003Holiday – University closed Thursday, November 27, 2003Friday, November 28, 2003Classes end Friday, December 5, 2003Final Exam Friday, December 12, 2003 at 7:45 – 9:45 a.m.38.0 Course Syllabus and OutlineChapter 1.
