Hgh-Rise Buildings – Structures

• Analyze structural and statically model for a high-rise building
• Evaluate possible load combinations
• Calculate internal forces in high-rise buildings by using elasticity theory and plasticity theory
• Design and dimension plates and beams in elements
• Design and dimension walls and columns in elements
• Design and dimension joints in and between structural elements
• Reflect on and motivate chosen solutions
• Present and explain the group cooperation

Overview of course subjects, where the students can delimit and plan the project work:
Obligatory:
Determinations of loads, statically models, statically determined and undetermined disc structures.
Internal forces in high-rise buildings: Elasticity theory and plasticity theory
Structures carrying capacity: slabs, beams, columns and walls.
Joints: design and carrying capacity
The project work must be done according to the subjects above and approved by the professors
