The course applies the principles of engineering mechanics to design and provide detailing of simple structural steel systems used in buildings. The course covers the principles of structural design, structural safety, steel as a material, methods of structural steel design, design of steel trusses, steel frames and connections. In addition, the course provides an introduction for fire engineering design of steel structures
