- Description
- The
behavior
of steel
structures
is an intricate and fascinating topic. This
module
is intended to
serve as a guide to the
AASHTO
Load an
d Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specifications and their representation of the behavior of steel
bridge
systems and members
.
The module focuses on the structural form and function of bridge systems and
members, with emphasis on strength limit states.
Whe
re relevan
t, recent advances in the AISC
Specification for
Structural Steel Buildings
as well as findings from research developments are discussed in addition to the AASHTO
LRFD Specfications
. There
are numerous areas where a broad understanding of the fu
ndamental behavior of
structures is key to the proper interpretation, application, and where necessary, extension of the AASHTO
LRFD
Specfications
. This
module
aims to aid the Engineer in reviewing and understanding the essential principles of steel
system
and member strength behavior and design.
