Overview
What you will study
The Design of Steel Structures According to Eurocode course provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology gives knowledge and skills in the design of steel structures according to Eurocode 3 (EC3).
The aims of the course are to learn not yet active designers relatively advanced design of steel structures and partly to ease the transition from BSK to EC3 for already active designers. After having completed the course the objective is that the student should be able to design structural steel components in general, especially for building structures and bridges.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
The term “steel structures” refers to systems of beams and columns including bolted and welded joints. All aspects of special importance for steel structures are treated, such as column buckling, lateral torsional buckling, plate buckling and fatigue.
In short the course content is described by the following keywords:
- material properties
- shear resistance with regard to shear buckling
- moment resistance with regard to local buckling and lateral torsional buckling
- axial resistance with regard to local buckling
- flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling
- bolted connections
- welded joints and fatigue.
