Engineering Design: Steel Structures
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course consists of:
- calculating load on statically indeterminate constructions,
- free action, maximum moment diagam, lines of action
- the properties of steel, rust and fire protection
- tensile and compressive force
- bending moment capacity
- axial force and bending moment
- skewed bending
- shear force capacity
- concentrated load and Web stiffeners
- deformation
- weld joints
- screw joints
- combined weld and screw joints
- information on framework details and presentation and controlling steel structures.
Instruction is in the form of lectures and calculation exercises. One design task is mandatory.
