Learning outcomes

1.Student can calculate and verify the overall tilting stability in accordance with the Eurocode for a beam subjected to bending forces;
2. Student can calculate and verify the overall buckling and tilting stability for a column subjected to compression and bending forces;
3. Student can calculate, verify and detail bolted and welded connections designed as rigid,sprung or hinged connections in accordance with the Eurocode;

5. Student can calculate and detail composite floors.

Content

In Steel Structures, the link between strength and stability is covered more in-depth for structural elements subjected to compression and bending forces. The theoretical basis for the phenomena of tilting and buckling is covered in more detail. Furthermore, special attention is paid to connections in the shape of welded and bolted connections. This is applied to rigid, sprung and hinged connections, including anchor connections.
