Course abstract

Design of single-storey steel frame of industrial building (according Eurocode 1 and 3) is mastered taking into account moving loads and dynamical effects. Design of main elements - eccentric loaded column and long span truss are performed. Corresponding drawings are worked out. BIM system software programmes are used - MS Excel, AutoCAD, MathCAD, Lira

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledges about design of steel industrial buildings; skills to perform calculation and construction of steel frames and other complicated steel structures; competences to define design problem of steel structure, performe desingn and evaluate the acquired results. Assessment is given on the basis of results of independent tasks, results of control test and course project
