Investigating a Modern Steel Structural System Project Report

This project report details the investigation of a modern steel structural system, including analysis, design, and real-world applications. The report covers the selection of a real-world structural problem, the motivation behind its selection, system idealization, and the estimation of external forces using design practices. It also includes detailed structural analysis, the identification of key internal forces and deformation variables, and a summary and discussion of the results. The report references AISC design provisions and utilizes computer software for visualization and modeling. The project includes professional contacts and field observations, documenting interactions with steel design, fabrication, and erection professionals. The report is a comprehensive overview of steel structure analysis and design, providing valuable insights into the practical application of civil engineering principles. The report includes data for the whole structure including results for various load cases and combinations.
