Entry Knowledge
- Fundamentals of university-level mathematics and physics
- Fundamentals of structural mechanics
- Basic knowledge of elasticity and strength of materials
- Basic understanding of building structures and transport infrastructure
Aims
Knowledge
- Students will acquire the fundamental principles and methods for the design of load-bearing members of steel and timber structures. They will also become familiar with the procedures and design methodologies used for the design of real structural members and components in accordance with European design standards.
Skills
- Students will be able to independently design and verify the basic types of steel connections. They will be able to design and verify members with solid steel cross-sections subjected to the basic loading cases and their combinations. They will also be able to independently design and verify members with solid steel cross-sections considering global stability phenomena such as flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling.
Competences
- Students will be able to independently solve fundamental design tasks related to steel building structures, particularly the design of members with solid cross-sections and their typical structural details. Upon successful completion of the course, students will have the necessary background to continue their studies in advanced topics related to the design of more complex steel structures.
