Metal Structures 1 (EVB)
FAST-BOA016Acad. year: 2022/2023
The course is focused on theoretical principles of the behaviour of members and connections of load-carrying metal structures and basic design cases, including practical applications to particular cases and their understanding by students:
Material and selection of structural members.
Principles and rules of reliability approach in steel structures, allowable and ultimate limit state design methods. Probabilistic approach in steel structures.
Geometric and static characteristics of open and closed cross-sections of thin-walled steel members.
Connections of metal structures – principles of structural design (bolted, frictional and welded connections).
Tensile members. Bending – elastic and plastic action.
Simple and warping torsion of thin-walled open and closed cross-section members.
Stability and buckling resistance of compression members of solid and composed section.
Lateral buckling.
Members subject to tension and bending, compression and bending stress.
