+ Explain the effect of shear and patch loading on the resistance of steel beams
+ Calculate the resistance of common bolted connections for steel structures
+ Explain the static behaviour of different types of welded joints in steel structures
+ Calculate the load bearing resistance of beams subjected to lateral torsional buckling
+ Understand specific problems related to the design of thin walled steel beams, especially the
interaction between local buckling, distortional buckling and global buckling
+ Perform adequate design calculations for straight, tapered and curved beams of glued laminated
timber (glulam)
“+ Understand how large holes and notches influence the shear resistance of timber beams
‘+ Perform design calculations for nailed and bolted connections in timber structures
+ Understand how instabilties such as flexural and lateral torsional buckling influence the resistance of
timber beams
+ Perform design calculations for elements made of wood based panels, especially with regard to
buckling
‘+ Understand the theory of partial composite action for beams made of timber, possibly in combination
with other materials such as stee!
Course main content
Design calculations are, within the steel part of the course, carried out according to Eurocode 3. The
calculations deal with such things as:
+ Local buckling for ordinary steel profiles
+ Bending resistance of ordinary stee! profiles
‘+ Design of steel columns with regard to flexural column buckling
‘+ Design of steel beams with regard to shear and patch loading
+ Bolted joints, analysis and design
+ Welded joints, analysis and design
+ Design of steel beams with reference to lateral torsional buckling
+ Technology af thin walled stee! profiles, especially instability problems
Design calculations are, within the timber part of the course, carried out according to Eurocode 5. The
calculations deal with such things as:
‘+ Moment and shear force resistance of glulam beams having straight, tapered and curved shapes
‘+ The influence of large holes and notches in timber beams
‘+ Design of timber joints in which mechanical connectors such as nails and bolts are used
‘+ Design of timber beams and columns sensitive for flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling
‘+ Design of timber beams having flanges of timber and webs of wood based panels,
+ Design of stressed skin elements have flanges of wood based panels
+ Design of beams made of two different materials where we have partial composite action between
the parts
