Night School 37: Steel Design After College (Session 1 of 8)

Session 1: Base Plates and Anchor Rods, presented by Adam Friedman

Night School returns, focusing on design topics that are common in real-world design that you may not have learned in your college classes! Most of us left college and entered the workforce with a clear understanding of structural steel design. The professors performed their jobs well, teaching us all about the behavior of steel and introducing the AISC Specification and Manual. Those of us who took an advanced steel design course even learned how to design many standard connections. We went to our first day of work with an engineering degree, and the know-how to completely design a steel-framed building. Right? Not quite. There is a limit to how much can be taught at the university level.

Starting February 18, we’ll get you up to speed on the most useful topics that engineers typically learn in their first few years on the job. Instead of learning on your own over the course of five or ten years, let AISC’s experts teach you in one concise course. Topics include:

• Base plates and anchor rods
• Lateral design of steel members
• Design of cantilever and overhanging beams
• Practical Composite Beam Design
• Load path of Steel-Framed Buildings
• Connection design
• Design of Single Angles in Flexure
• Verifying computer analysis results
