  20. Factors in Design • Safety • Aesthetics • Serviceability • Environment • Economy

  21. QUESTION What is the optimumsize of a structural element in a structure that will support the required loads?

  22. GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURES Problem Definition Service Functions Location Surface & Subsurface Conditions Infrastructure Environmental Impact etc • Constraints • Material Availability • Zoning Requirements • Construction Expertise ...

  23. General Design Procedures Geometric/Architectural Design ………. Altern. 1 Altern. 2 Altern. 3 Altern. n Final Layout Floorplans Elevations etc

  24. General Design Procedures Preliminary Structural Design ………. Altern. 1 Altern. 2 Altern. 3 Altern. n Prliminary Design: Location and arrangement of load bearing elements, columns, beams, footings etc., Sizing of structural elements for safety and serviceability Architectural Constraints - Simplicity & Duplication - Fabrication & Construction Procedures Economy: Add preliminary $ value to each design Select Alternative for Final Design

  25. General Design Procedures FINAL DESIGN Sizing of Members Design of Details Design Drawings* (Blueprints) Bill of Materials Total Cost *Design Drawings Complete and Easy to Read AISC: Detailing for Steel Construction Engineering for Steel Construction

  26. Define External Loads Estimate/Assume Initial Size of Structural Elements Calculate Self Weight Structural Analysis Select New Sizes Check Design (Codes & Specs) Safe Functional Economic NO YES O.K. Preliminary/Final Design

  27. OBJECTIVE OF THIS CLASS • Safety • Aesthetics • Serviceability • Environment • Economy

  28. OBJECTIVE OF THIS CLASS We will learn the concepts, methods and procedures that will allow us to estimate the “demand” imposed on structural members by external loads
