Design of a Steel-framed Hall (5cr)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Objective

Competence in structural engineering:
The aim of the course is to strengthen the student's knowledge of civil engineering and the application of theory to practice. Students design the load-bearing structures of a steel-framed hall according to the Eurocodes and draw up structural drawings. Reporting of design calculations.

Content

Steel structures (4,5 cr):
- design values of loads
- stresses in load-bearing structures
- FEM calculation
- design of load-bearing and stiffening structures
- structural design of structural elements
- modelling of the hall frame and preparation of structural drawings using CAD software
- reporting of design calculations

Concrete structures (0,5 ECTS):
- dimensioning of concrete foundations

Materials

Eurocodes relating to design basis and loads on structures and their national implementing documents, where applicable. Eurocodes for concrete and steel structures and their national application documents, where applicable. Teachers' own material.
