| 101-0134-00L | Steel Structures I | 5 credits | 4G | A. Taras | |
| Abstract | Basic knowledge of structural steel design including material behaviour, structural analysis and stability problems. Methods and background of structural steel design, including detailing. Influence of detailing on structural modeling. The course includes practical examples and optional exercises to be done by the students to enhance their knowledge of structural steel design. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students understand the basics of steel design, including Stability and stiffness aspects. Main focus is to make visible the background and basic requirements of structural steel design, as well as the interaction between the structural detailing and analytical modelling. Students understand the principals of structural engineering by analysing practical examples of steel structures. | ||||
| Content | Application area of steel structures (Properties and characteristics of steel and their effects on design); Steel as construction material (steelmaking, forms of delivery and mechanical properties, manufacturing of steel elements, erecting of steel structures, verification of design criteria); Connections, (bolts, welds); Stability problems (bending, lateral buckling, buckling). Practical examples and exercises enhance the knowledge of structural steel design. | ||||
