Advanced Steel Structures
This course focuses on advanced topics in steel design and seismic design of building structures.
Seismic design philosophy, ductility design and capacity design, special moment frame design,
special concentrically braced frame design, eccentrically braced frame design, buckling restrained braced design, and steel plate shear wall design will be presented.
