Steel Construction III - Detailing and Design of Steel Structures

Here you can find a compilation of all information on our master module Steel Construction III – Detailing and Design of Steel Structures.

Module Description

The following topics are covered in the lecture Steel Construction III – Detailing and Design of Steel Structures:

Design and dimensioning of steel structures in building, crane and bridge construction. The design topics addressed in the lectures “Steel Construction I” and “Steel Construction II” are taken up, supplemented and deepened. Reference is made to the current standards (in particular EC 3 and EC 4). The aim of the lecture is to convey the basic and specific design, construction and dimensioning ideas of steel construction.
