Learning Outcomes
Students will be competent in designing more demanding design cases. Students will be competent in designing more complicated joints for steel structures according to eurocodes. They will also be competent in making use of plasticity in the designing process. The course is part of the theoretical training required of A-level structural designers.
Student's Workload
Total work load of the course: 107 h
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
