Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
- suggest adequate load combinations for design in the ultimate and serviceability limit states for steel and timber structures
- determine critical loads considering flexural buckling for beams in the elastic region
- verify the design resistance for steel and timber subjected to bending in the ultimate limit state
- minimize the material consumption for structural members for decreased environmental impact and increased sustainability.
