The course is based on the fundamental course in steel and wood structures and the course in conceptual structural design. In the course by hand, the focus lies on using and interpreting results from FE analyses to determine design sectional forces. More precisely, the course deals with:
- Static overdetermined structures and the possibility of redistributing loads at the ultimate limit state.
- Determination of sectional design forces based on FE analyses.
- System stability, global (buckling, lateral buckling), and local stability (web buckling, flange buckling, buckling of stiffeners).
- Design methods for high cycle fatigue and practical design of details with regard to fatigue,
- Describe aspects related to the sustainability of steel construction
