Steel Design
WHAT IS STEEL ?
Steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, and other metals
(manganese, nickel, chromium,molybdenum, boron,
titanium,vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, and niobium). Carbon
is added to reduce ductility and increase hardness.
Physical and Structural Properties of Steel
• Steel is widely used as a building material. This is
because of a number of factors including its mechanical
properties, availability in a variety of useful and practical
shapes, economy, design simplicity, and ease and speed
of construction.
• Steel can be produced with a variety of properties to suit
different requirements. The principle requirements are
Tensile strength, ductility, weldability, and corrosion
resistance.
ADVANTAGES
• High strength
• Uniformity
• Elasticity
• Permanence
• Ductility
• Toughness
DIS ADVANTAGES
• High maintenance costs
• Fireproofing costs
• Corrosion
• Susceptibility to buckling
• Less availabilty

203.3 Load Combinations using Strength Design and
Load and Resistance Factor Design
• 1.4(D+F) (203-1)
• 1.2(D+F+T) + 1.6(L+H) + 0.5(Lr or R) (203-2)
• 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or R) + (f1L or 0.5W) (203-3)
• 1.2D + 1.0W +f1L +0.5(Lr or R) (203-4)
• 1.2D + 1.0E +f1L (203-5)
• 0.9D + 1.0W + 1.6H (203-6)
• 0.9D + 1.0E + 1.6H (203-7)
• f1 = 1.0 for floors in places of public assembly, for Live loads in
excess of 4.8 Kpa
• f1 = 0.5 for other live loads
203. 4. Load Combinations using Allowable Stress and
Strength Design
• D+F (203-8)
• D+H+F+L+T (203-9)
• D+H+F+(Lr or R) (203-10)
• D+H+F+0.75[L+T+(Lr or R)] (203-11)
• D+H+F+(0.6W or E/1.4) (203-12)

• ASD - Allowable Strength Design
In allowable strength design (ASD), a member is selected that has cross-
sectional properties such as area and moment of inertia that are large
enough to prevent the maximum applied axial force, shear, or bending
moment from exceeding an allowable, or permissible, value.
The allowable stress will be in the elastic range of the material. This
approach to design is also called elastic design or working stress design.
