AF213V Design of Steel Structures According to Eurocode 3 15.0 credits

Dimensionering av stålkonstruktioner enligt Eurocode 3

Please note

The information on this page is based on a course plan that is not yet valid.

The course covers the design of steel structures from a basic to advanced level. The course is about how to find the resistance (or load capacity) of structures by means of design calculations. The design calculations follow the European standard EN 1993 – Design of steel structures.

Learning outcomes

The course 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.

Course main content

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.

Disposition

The course consists of lectures and exercises. The lectures are given at evenings, once a week between the hours 16 to 19. The students have time for some own work after the lectures (from 19 to 21), i.e. students will solve exercises related to the given lecture. Teachers are present and ready to help during this scheduled activity.

Eligibility

Higher education for at least 30 credits within the fields of engineering or natural sciences and documented knowledge of Swedish B/ Swedish 3 and English A/English 5 or equivalent.

Prerequisites

The applicant is recommended to have read basic courses in mathematics, mechanics and solid mechanics at a university level in order to be able to follow the course.
