Steel Structures (BYG200)

The course initially introduces properties of steel, behavior of steel structures, corresponding fracture/failure scenarios and design philosophy of steel structures. The course mainly provides a fundamental understanding of design principles of steel structural elements/structures in ultimate and serviceability limit states in accordance with Eurocode and National Annex. The course finally introduces computer tools for structural analysis and design by few case studies.

Content

Introduction to steel structures; Properties and behavior of structural steel; Design philosophy and code of practices; Applications, types, elastic or plastic behavior (i.e. cross sectional yielding or fracture due to axial force, bending, shear or bearing and buckling of member due to local, flexural buckling, torsional or lateral torsional) and design of steel structural elements (i.e. tension members, compression members, flexural members, axially loaded members with moments, torsion members and joints) in ultimate and serviceability limit states in accordance with Eurocode and National Annex; Introduction to element method and relevant computer tools.

Learning outcome

After completing the course, the student shall be able to design steel structural elements such as tension members, compression members, flexural members, axially loaded members subjected to bending moments and torsion, in ultimate and serviceability limit states. In addition, the student should be able to recognize various types of fracture models, caused by structural damages, deterioration, fatigue, as well as maintain and repair the damaged steel structural elements.

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
