Advanced Steel Structures

• 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.
