Limit States Design Capacity Factors Load Factors and Load Combinations Yield Stress fy and Ultimate Stress fu for Standard Sections and Plates
Tension Members
Nt Yielding failure of the gross section Nt Fracture failure of the net section
An calculations to allow for holes (including staggered holes) Kt factors Use of ASI Design Capacity Tables
Compression Members
Yielding failure Ns - Local buckling failure Effective width (be) / area (Ae) calculation to allow for local buckling Nc - Global buckling failure effective length concept Lex = kex L and Ley = key L depending on intermediate restraints and support conditions; and b , c factors Use of ASI Design Capacity Tables
Flexural Members
Yielding (My) and Plastic (Mp) failure moments Ms - Local buckling failure Effective section modulus (Ze) calculation to allow for local buckling Mb - Global buckling failure effective length concept Le = kt kr kl L, End support and intermediate lateral restraints, Buckling Restraint Conditions F, P, L, U Use of Segments: FF versus FP versus LL Bending moment distribution factor m Use of ASI Design Capacity Tables

My Observations
Topics followed on from Mechanics Units Easier or Harder?? Depends on. Good Resources were available to you Very Relevant to Structural Engineering. Classes 2012 (lectures and tutorial classes) How did they go? Did you learn everything well? Project Parts 1 and 2 Learning Vehicles Student Performance so far Did you do your best? If so, you would definitely pass this unit; another 50% to go How did I go? Did I do my best? LEX Survey
End of Semester!!! Good Luck with your Exams See you next semester for ENB373 only for structural and construction students
