Single-Course English 5 ECTS

Advanced Steel Structures

Overall Course Objectives

The course aims at giving the participants a detailed knowledge of analysis and design of steel structures, enabling them to deal with more advanced steel structures.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the assumptions that form the basis for advanced models and analysis.
  • Carry out qualitative evaluations as well as detailed analysis of steel structures.
  • Carry out analysis and design of more advanced steel structures from practice.
  • Carry out analysis and design of member joints with bolted and welded connections.
  • Carry out analysis and design of plate girders, including determination of post-critical capacity.
  • Carry out analysis and design of steel columns, including built-up columns.
  • Carry out analysis and design of thin-walled structures.
  • Carry out analysis and design of composite structures concrete/steel.
  • Determine the fatigue life of steel structures.

Course Content
