Module-description
The Steel Construction I lecture provides an introduction to the design and construction of high-rise steel structures. The aim is to gain an overview of the basics of current standards and to familiarise students with the main components of steel construction in order to be able to design and dimension simple steel structures.
Here, emphasis is placed on both the individual structural component and the joining of the components.
The contents are in detail:
- Material – origin and laws
- Elastic and plastic design methods
- Bending girders/ solid wall- and truss girders
- Fundamentals of stability theory – buckling of elastic members
- Euler cases, buckling lengths, support types
- Fundamentals of bolting and welding
- Simple connections by bolting and welding.
