Computer Assisted Teaching Of Steel Design, Wendelin Henry Mueller Iii
Computer Assisted Teaching Of Steel Design, Wendelin Henry Mueller Iii
Doctoral Dissertations
"A method for use in creating a university level course is presented. The specifics of each of the steps is given in general terms to allow its application to as many different topics as possible. This method is then specifically applied in the formation of a fundamental steel design course using the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification. The reasoning utilized in each phase of development is documented. A lecture style presentation complemented by a series of student oriented computer programs was chosen for use. The details of the course material in outline form is given along with the computer …

Plastic Design Of Steel Frames For Minimum Weight, I-Chen Hung
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this study was to develop a method for weight minimization of the plastically designed frame, braced normal to its plane of action, and composed of prismatic steel members. The method accounts for the non-linear relationship between weight and moment capacity for both beams and columns. Reduction in the pure-bending fully-plastic moment in the presence of axial loading and both beam-column instability and overall frame instability due to sidesway are taken into account. Provision is made for minimization of frames employing standard sections as well as for frames whose built-up members may be chosen from a continuous spectrum. …
