A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Design of steel beams and girders

Design of steel beams and girders focuses on determining member dimensions, checking strength, stability and serviceability under bending, shear and torsion. Mastery of allowable stresses, section properties, load combinations and deflection limits is essential for compliance with Nigerian design codes and for safe, economical construction.
