• Re-visiting the general overview and applications of structural steel in practice.

• Generic behavior that can be addressed by various Analogies and Philosophies

• Application of Design Standards in Practice

• Various standards can be employed
• Eurocodes chosen option for UB undergraduate study

• Use of Eurocode analogies using the Limit State Design Method

• Ultimate Limit States (Strength, Equilibrium, Geotechnical, Accidental, Fatigue)
• Serviceability Limit States (Vibrations, Deflections, sway-effects, crack widths etc.)
